A Christmas Carol is a truly wonderful novella, written by Charles Dickens. It was first published in 1843, and met with instant success and critical acclaim. A Christmas Carol is a perfect volume for inquisitive children, and tells the story a bitter old miser named Ebenezer Scrooge, and his transformation into a gentler, kindlier man after visitations by the ghost of his former business partner, and the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come.... Dickens Carol was one of the greatest influences in rejuvenating the old Christmas traditions of England, but, while it brings to the reader images of light, joy, warmth and life, it also brings strong and unforgettable images of what happens when these things are missing. The book has never been out of print since its first publication. A Christmas Carol further contains a series of dazzling colour illustrations by a master of the craft Arthur Rackham (18671939). One of the most celebrated painters of the British Golden Age of Illustration (which encompassed the years from 1850 until the start of the First World War), Rackhams artistry is quite simply, unparalleled. Throughout his career, he developed a unique style, combining haunting humour with dreamlike romance. Presented alongside the text, his illustrations further refine and elucidate Charles Dickens enthralling narrative.
