Product Description

Product Description

Dickens's ghostly tale of Ebenezer Scrooge has become as much a part of Christmas as trees and stockings, plum pudding and mistletoe. Containing atmospheric artwork, this edition aims to bring Dickensian London and its inhabitants to life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful Christmas addition to the season, 17 Jun 2007
By Jon Shipton "Jon" (United kingdom) - See all my reviews
If you have never read 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens, this would be an excellent introduction to a timeless story.

If you already own any copy of the book, add this one too. As it is probably one of the most sumptious copies around. Thick glossy pages and beautiful illustrations, make this a joy for years to come!

I collect different print versions of Dickens' books, and this without a doubt is one of the lovliest I have ever seen.
Get it and make it part of your holiday season.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful presentation, 26 Nov 2007
By Mist of Time "Mist of Time" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
A quick look for any Victorian novelist will quickly show that there are any number of versions of the classics available to suit any budget. As they all tell the same story in (mostly) the same words why wouldn't you just buy the cheapest? The answer is in editions like this one.

For a still very reasonable price you get a well made hardback that sits well when you read it and has great illustrations. As a way to get younger children engaged with a great author and a great story this is very effective (thought the Muppets get close as well!)

Highly recommended
