Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

This classic 1843 tale by Charles Dickens features all your favourite characters in their original telling: Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit, and the rest. This hard cover edition is a facsimile of A Christmas Carol as first published in 1843, which means it includes the original illustrations, in full colour, by John Leech. While the cloth cover cannot be reproduced exactly, the cover of this edition is nearly identical in appearance to the original. If you want to read A Christmas Carol exactly as it was first written, this edition is for you.

Also available in hard cover: 9781936830886
And as a soft cover edition: 9781936830916

These two options have been gently updated to conform with modern printing methods, featuring easier to read text compared to the facsimile and with similar, very minor adjustments.

Note: This edition is a facsimile. That means it is exactly as originally published. For that reason, it retains the magic of the original, but also contains all the blemishes and defects common to books printed almost 200 years ago. Reader beware.

Furthermore, the original illustrator, John Leech, did not use a computer or graphic editing to create his illustrations. At the time, illustrations were created as engravings that had to be coloured by hand or through wood cuts. Readers beware, they were not modified or enhanced for this edition. It is a facsimile!
