The Poor Pensioner by Holme Lee (Harriet Parr) - Full Audiobook | Short Story

A full unabridged audiobook of the classic short story, "The Poor Pensioner", by Holme Lee (Harriet Parr) - complete with sounds and visuals.

The sixth part of The Holly-Tree Inn tells the story of a mysterious woman who appears at regular intervals in the bar of the inn. Her wild behaviour and gaunt appearance initially shock the guest, who enquires further about her dishevelled state. It is revealed that the poor pensioner has a sorrowful and saddening past which she seems to bear with her to this day.

The The Holly-Tree Inn is a collection of short stories, published as the second volume of A Child's History of England and Miscellaneous Pieces. The Holly-Tree Inn was originally published in the Christmas 1855 edition of Household Words.

There is some evidence that Dickens only wrote three of the sections and the framing story; the other sections are purportedly attributed as follows: "The Ostler", Wilkie Collins; "The Landlord", William Howitt; "The Barmaid" Adelaide Anne Procter; "The Poor Pensioner", Holme Lee.

Dickens began a tradition of Christmas publications with "A Christmas Carol" in 1843 and his Christmas stories soon became a national institution.
