Publisher's Synopsis
A deluxe silkbound edition of A Christmas Carol, complete with gold-foil embossing and original Victorian illustrations, presented in a decorative slipcase.
First published on 19 December 1843 and written at a time of decline in festive tradition, A Christmas Carol became an instant classic. While the character of Ebenezer Scrooge has become the epitome of miserliness, his story of redemption reinforces expectations for Christmas Day as a time of peace and goodwill to all men. This beautiful hardback edition makes a wonderful seasonal gift that the whole family can enjoy. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Silkbound Classics series brings together deluxe gift editions of literary classics, presented with luxurious silk binding, striking embossed cover designs and full-color illustrations.
