Description
|
|
|
|
Since it was first published in 1843, inspiring a renaissance of joyous Christmas celebration, "A Christmas Carol" has become an essential part of the holiday season. Charles Dickens also wrote four other Christmas-themed stories—"The Chimes," "The Cricket on the Hearth," "The Battle of Life," and "The Haunted Man"—all collected here in a handsome keepsake edition with a sewn binding, ribbon marker, and the original engraved illustrations. These stories show Dickens at his unpredictable best, jumbling together comedy and melodrama, genial romance and urgent social satire, all in pursuit of his aim "to awaken some loving and forbearing thoughts, never out of season in a Christian land."
