Acerca de este libro

The full title of Charles Dickens' most famous work is technically A Christmas Carol in Prose, Being a Ghost-Story of Christmas. This novella was published on December 19, 1843, and the first edition run of 6000 copies were sold out by Christmas Eve of that year.

The publication of the first edition was fraught with complications, and even though the book was received to positive reviews, profits of the book fell far below Dickens' expectations, and the financial strain caused rifts between Dickens and the original publisher, Chapman & Hall.

Información de la editorial

Mention the name Ebenezer Scrooge, and the image of a bitter old man in a dressing gown, slippers, and long night cap comes to mind. He is one of the greatest and most recognizable characters in English literature. What many people don't realize is that Charles Dickens' 1843 masterpiece, "A Christmas Carol", in large part created the joyous customs of Christmas as we know them today. In this well-loved Christmas classic, the hardened Ebenezer Scrooge is shown the meaning of charity and friendship after visits from the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Yet to Come. Charming illustrations and captions highlight the story and explain what life was like in Victorian England.

Identificación de primeras ediciones

The initial publication of A Christmas Carol was challenged by several issues, and those issues are evident in some of the first edition identification notes. The final product of the first edition was printed with a red cloth binding with gilded pages and yellow endpapers. The very first copies were printed with green endpapers, and those copies are exceptionally rare.

The first edition contains four colored illustrations and four black and white illustrations. In the first edition, Stave I is printed with the roman numeral, while later editions spell out the number to be printed as Stave One.
