In the history of English literature, Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol,
which has been continuously in print since it was first published in
the winter of 1843, stands out as the quintessential Christmas story.
What makes this charming edition of Dickens's immortal tale so special
is the collection of 80 vivid illustrations by Everett Shinn
(1876-1953). Shinn, a well-known artist in his time, was a popular
illustrator of newspapers and magazines whose work displayed a
remarkable affinity for the stories of Charles Dickens, evoking the
bustling street life of the mid-1800s. Printed on heavy, cream-colored
paper stock, the edges of the pages have been left rough, simulating
the way in which the story might have appeared in Dickens's own time.
Though countless editions of this classic have been published over the
years, this one stands out as particularly beautiful, nostalgic, and
evocative of the spirit of Christmas.
