The Christmas Books: A Christmas Carol; The Chimes; The Cricket on the Hearth; The Battle of Life; The Haunted Man.

These are the first reprints taken from the original stereotypes of Dickens’ Christmas books since the 1860 imprint.

A very good set, some fading to the cloth spines, tops and tails of spines lightly bumped and somewhat frayed. Some fading to the boards of The Chimes, The Battle of Life, and The Cricket on the Hearth. The front hinge of A Christmas Carol splitting but holding firm, a few gatherings in The Chimes sprung. Podeschi, B128.
