Dickens's delightful Christmas writings in a gorgeous new hardback edition. After reading
Christmas Carol the notoriously reculsive Thomas Carlyle was seized with a perfect convulsion
of hospitality and threw not one but two Christmas dinner parties. The impact of the story may
not always have been so dramatic but along with Dickens other Christmas writings it has had a
lasting and significant influence upon our ideas about the Christmas spirit and about the
season as a time for celebration charity and memory.
