A Christmas Carol

A beautifully festive special edition hardcover of two of Dickens‘s touching Christmas tales With Ebenezer Scrooge in A Christmas Carol , Charles Dickens created one of the most unforgettable characters in world literature. The greedy old miser’s transformation after a visit from three Christmas spirits is a heartfelt call for kindness – and a joyful celebration of the magic of the holiday season. Also included is The Chimes , a charming, touching, and wonderfully festive New Year’s tale that captures Dickens’ wit and warmth at their very best. This edition includes the original illustrations from the first edition. Two true Christmas classics in a festive deluxe edition With original illustrations by John Leech »Dickens’s novella has become a festive staple.« The Guardian on »A Christmas Carol« »I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little book to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humour with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it.« Charles Dickens, from the author’s preface to the holiday classic »There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.« Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
