Toby Veck and his daughter Meg lead a deprived and miserable life. The servant tries in vain to get a job to earn a little wage. Only the bells of the nearby church tower seem to be his friends. But on New Year's Eve, they show their true face and bring a dream to him: Toby Veck is dead, and as a ghost he sees the future of his daughter. This is a new edition of the original and unabridged text, decorated with illustrations by John Leech (1817-1864). The size of the eBook is about 120 pages.
