This listing is for an early printing of "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, dated 1864. The book also includes "The Chimes," "The Cricket in the Hearth," and several other Christmas stories by Dickens, each of which has an illustration by F.C.O. Darley. The book measures 6 x 7.5 inches and contains 594 pages. Fine binding is maroon leather over boards with gilt cover designs, gilt page edges, fancy end pages, and a two-tone chromatograph title page. This 161 year old book is in very good condition overall. The covers shows moderate wear to the hinges and corners, but still handsome. Pages are clean with toning around the periphery. Binding is tight. There are owner names on the blank end pages. A lovely and very early Charles Dicken's Christmas book! On consignment from a lifelong Christmas collector.
