A Christmas Carol

A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Dickens's wonderfully spooky tale with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, beautiful paper, and finished with a silk ribbon.

A Christmas Carol tells the story of Mr Scrooge, a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, miserable old man. 'Bah! Humbug!' he declares, as nobody stops him in the street to say a cheery hello, and nobody would dare ask him for a favour. It's best not to wish him a 'Merry Christmas' either, as Scrooge doesn't believe in Christmas, charity, kindness - or ghosts.

But one cold Christmas Eve, Scrooge receives some unusual visitors who show him just how very mistaken he's been...

About the Author

Charles Dickens was born in Hampshire on February 7, 1812. His father was a clerk in the navy pay office, who was well paid but often ended up in financial troubles. When Dickens was twelve years old he was send to work in a shoe polish factory because his family had been taken to the debtors' prison. His career as a writer of fiction started in 1833 when his short stories and essays began to appear in periodicals. The Pickwick Papers, his first commercial success, was published in 1836. The serialisation of Oliver Twist began in 1837. Many other novels followed and The Old Curiosity Shop brought Dickens international fame and he became a celebrity in America as well as Britain. Charles Dickens died on 9 June 1870. He is buried in Westminster Abbey.
