About This Item
This is a collection of Charles Dickens' three classic Christmas novels: A Christmas Carol, The Chimes and The Cricket on the Hearth. This was originally published as the New Oxford Illustrated Dickens, in 1955. In 1976, the American illustrator Warren Chappell (1904-1991) created his own illustrations for this set and published it in the US. This is a copy of that publication.
It is cream-coloured boards with a red and green design on the cover and spine. Inside, there are numerous sepiatone illustrations.
The book is in pristine condition, with no marks of any kind in it or on it. There is an attractive bookplate on the inside front cover. The tops of the pages are dyed red. It is 308 pages, creamy high-quality paper.
In image #1, the dark mark across the cover is the shadow of my arm.
NOTE: The stated fee for shipping outside of the US and Canada is for surface mail, with no tracking. If you'd like air mail and/or tracking, I'll get you the exact price.
