Dickens completed writing A Christmas Carol in November 1843 and sought to have it published as a lavishly produced book. Once out of copyright, publishers and illustrators competed to produce their own version of the work. This deluxe issue with Brock's perfectly Victorian style illustrations, neatly captures the gift book style of the original.
