Product Description
Product Description
The words Merry Christmas first appeared in Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol, which has become probably the best-loved of all Christmas stories, and it appears here with the four other stories that combined to make The Christmas Books, first published in 1852. Somehow, Christmas and ghost stories go well together, and here too Dickens was a master of the art. Compiled here is a complete collection of his supernatural tales, including such classics as The Signalman and The Trial for Murder . The collection is completed by a selection of Dickens other tales, which amply demonstrate the great range of his writing. The stories include illustrations from the original editions, featuring the works of John Tenniel, Edwin Landseer and many others. Combine these elements together, and you have a book that would make a wonderful present throughout the year.

This review is from: Christmas Books, Ghost Stories & Other Tales (Library Collection.) (Wordsworth Library Collection) (Hardcover)
This selection of classic stories by Charles Dickens is part of Wordsworth's "Library Collection", a sort of poor man's Folio Society. The books are cloth-bound, with gold embossing and coloured page edges. The paper is quite thin, like in an old bible, but that's not a bad thing here given there sheer number of them - it would be too heavy to lift with thick paper!All of Charles Dickens' Christmas stories are here, and all of his ghost stories, together with a selection of other short stories. It's worth the purchase for the two most famous ones alone - "A Christmas Carol" and "The Signalman".
