A Christmas Carol in prose

A facsimile of the first edition of Dickens’s first and most enduring Christmas gift book. This copy has been bound without the extra title page and prefatory matter by G. K. Chesterton and B. W. Matz, rendering it even more persuasive.

8vo. Contemporary red morocco gilt by Riviere & Son, contrasting green lettering pieces, spine gilt, gilt edges. Red cloth slipcase. Colour frontispiece and 3 plates, illustrations, after Leech. Unnamed engraved bookplate. A little rubbed, an excellent copy.
