A Christmas Carol, and Other Haunting Tales
Description:... In this Collector's Edition, Dickens's most captivating stories are gathered together, richly illustrated with handwritten manuscript pages, rare family photographs, and a splendid array of prints and drawings from the special collections of The New York Public Library. The book features the much-loved Christmas Carol, with Sol Elytinge's beautiful and tender illustrations (which have not been reproduced for over a century); the magical Christmas story A Haunted Man; a selection of the master's most gripping ghost stories; and three of his tales in their "reading versions, " which Dickens specially prepared for his riveting public performances in the 1850s. Unlike other books in the series, this edition also features a special full-bleed color illustration on the cover, making it an ideal gift for the holiday season.
