A Christmas Carol

Ebenezer Scrooge, a bitter miser, hates Christmas and everything it stands for, but visits from the ghosts of Christmas past, Christmas present and Christmas future terrify him, thawing his frozen heart, and opening a world of possibilities. A Christmas Carol, first published in 1843, has captured the public imagination, and is now itself part of the Christmas tradition, warming the heart like mince pies and mulled wine on a winter evening.

This beautiful hardback brings together two masters of their fields: Charles Dickens, a grandmaster of Victorian literature and a household name from his time until ours, and Arthur Rackham, one of the greatest book illustrators of all time. Contains Dickens’ unabridged text, and Rackham’s imaginative playful illustrations (12 color, 22 black and white).
