Reader's note

A beautiful 1944 first edition of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. This is a Victorian morality tale of a mean-spirited and selfish old man, Ebenezer Scrooge, who hates Christmas. He holds anything other than money in contempt, including friendship, love and the Christmas season. One cold Christmas Eve, Scrooge is unkind to the people who work for him, then refuses to give to charity, and then is rude to his nephew when he invites him to spend Christmas with him. He undergoes a profound experience of redemption over the course of one evening.

“You are fettered," said Scrooge, trembling. "Tell me why?"
"I wear the chain I forged in life," replied the Ghost. "I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it.”

This wonderful vintage edition is illustrated throughout by Emil Weiss with black and colour drawings and plates. A gem among a bounty of out of print, rare and stunning vintage books on our second hand bookstore.
