An old sexton dreams of the Christmas chimes he will ring and wakes to find discontent has crept into the bells. In a series of brief allegories Adams gives voices to bells, a pilgrim on a height, faith and hope, joy and sorrow, and an oak tree that mistakes its mission, each turning a simple scene into a lesson about the inner life.
