Description

Enjoy the greatest Christmas story ever written in this handsome new gift volume. Produced in association with the UK's National Gallery, this new hardback edition's dustjacket features art from the National Gallery's collection, and includes expert notes on the art.

This edition contains the full original text of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. When the miser Ebeneezer Scrooge is visited by ghosts on Christmas Eve, he is given a chance to understand the meaning of Christmas in the past and present and perhaps change his fate for Christmases yet to come. A perennial favourite with adults and children alike, this story has become one of the most famous Christmas tales since its first publication in 1843.

This volume is part of the Masterpiece Classics series from Welbeck, which includes The Jungle Books, Alice in Wonderland and The Wind in the Willows.
About Charles Dickens | The National Gallery
Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812-1870) was born in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England. In 1824, his father was imprisoned for debt, so Charles was sent to work in a shoe-dye factory. He later became a clerk in a law firm, a shorthand reporter in the courts, and a parliamentary and newspaper reporter. In 1833, Dickens began to contribute short stories and essays to periodicals, heralding the start of a glittering and prolific literary career. He married Catherine Hogarth in 1836, with whom he had nine surviving children before they separated in 1858. Dickens died suddenly at home on 9 June 1870, leaving behind an internationally acclaimed canon of work, including OLIVER TWIST (1837), NICHOLAS NICKLEBY (1838), DAVID COPPERFIELD (1849-50), BLEAK HOUSE (1852-53), LITTLE DORRIT (1855-57), A TALE OF TWO CITIES (1859), GREAT EXPECTATIONS (1860-61) and OUR MUTUAL FRIEND (1864-65). He was buried in Westminster Abbey, London, England.
