About Mrs. Lirriper's Legacy by Charles Dickens
Mrs. Lirriper’s Legacy is one of Charles Dickens’s Christmas stories. In Mrs. Lirriper’s Legacy, little Jemmy is growing up as Mrs. Lirriper and Major Jackman continue to dote upon him. Mrs. Lirriper has a little trouble with her brother-in-law, Joshua Lirriper, her life long rivalry with Miss Wozenham finally comes to an end and a neighbourhood fire brings people closer together. Amidst all this a dying man leaves a legacy for Mrs. Lirriper and the family travels to Paris to meet him. Mrs. Lirriper is a nice and kind lady. She is competent enough to run the lodge and make a living but is also at times rather tender hearted. Another key character of the book Major Jackman is a hot tempered but good hearted man. It seems as though without his support Mrs. Lirriper wouldn’t have made it through some of her troubles. They make quite a formidable team together.
