A Christmas Carol: A Facsimile of the Manuscript in the Pierpont Morgan Library


Charles Dickens


The Folio Society; Folio Press 1970

Binding:  Hardback  |  Condition: Very Good  | 

Splendid edition of Dickens' enduring classic, published under the Folio Society's special Folio Press imprint. Featuring a facsimile of Dickens own (and the only) manuscript of the text, written in his hand and showing his alterations, printed on the recto. Whilst the verso features the final text of the story. Also contained are the original illustrations by John Leech, with those within the text reproduced in b/w whilst the full page illustrations are done in colour and tipped in. With a preface of Frederick B. Adams of the Pierpont Library and an introduction by Monica Dickens, Charles' great grandaughter. 4to. Some slight toning and wear to covers. Faint foxing to top edge. Previous owner's small sticker to ffep. Else clean and tight. Very good.
