A Christmas Carol
Remember Scrooge’s astonishment and disbelief when Marley’s Ghost visits him—and his joy when he wakes up on Christmas day and realizes he’s been blessed with a second chance to turn his life around? Remember Tiny Tim’s cries of delight as the Cratchit family gave thanks for their modest holiday feast? From the bustling snowy streets of nineteenth-century London to the ghostly apparitions of Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come, award-winning artist Roberto Innocenti’s beautiful watercolors perfectly capture the spirit of the best-loved holiday classic. This is Charles Dickens’ Christmas Carol like it was meant to be seen—in a beautiful edition to be cherished and shared for many, many holidays to come!

great edition
February 21, 2010
There's nothing like reading the book - movies never live up to the written word. And this book is a wonderful addition to any library. The illustrations are marvelous. The entire book evokes images of Victorian England. I've had other editions of this tale, but this is definitely the "go-to" book for all future readings. What a great way to enjoy an old Christmas tradition. Truly a must-have edition.

Christmas Carol has become part of what defines the Christmas spirit, and this book is the most beautiful. I bet Dickens never realized the impact his story would have for so many future generations. A must read every year.

Wonderful Edition

I LOVE Dickens! I have many other editions of this wonderful
story. I have a replica of his orginal written work of this story. In this edition, the art work is wonderful and looks
like it represents that era of time. Wonderful addition to my
collection!

The Ultimate Edition
December 21, 2009
We have had this book since it came out back in 1990, and it is our favorite Christmas Carol book. In fact, it is our favorite Christmas book. The quality of the illustrations is top notch, and Roberto Innocenti did a marvelous job of translating the words into stunning watercolors. And ofcourse Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without a reading of Christmas Carol and watching the original black and white movies. Perfection.
