A Christmas Carol. London J.M. Dent, 1907. Third Edition Thus. Cream cloth boards elaborately decorated and titled with gilt. Light shelf-wear to boards, foxing to endpapers, but overall a nice bright copy.

Illustrated with eight coloured plates and numerous black and white drawings by Charles E. Brock.

Dickens completed writing A Christmas Carol in November 1843 and sought to have it published as a lavishly produced book. Once out of copyright, publishers and illustrators competed to produce their own version of the work. This deluxe issue with Brock’s perfectly Victorian style illustrations, neatly captures the gift book style of the original.

Charles E. Brock was very respected & successful British book illustrator. He illustrated the works of authors such as Jonathan Swift, William Thackeray, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, and George Eliot
