Shinn, Everett (illustrator). Christmas in Dickens. Reprint Edition. 1941. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in very good minus condition—jacket shows light fraying, small tears, and a trace of chipping to the spine ends.

Christmas tradition had gone into decline in the early years of the Industrial Age. It is no exaggeration that they were revived nearly single-handedly by one man, Charles Dickens, and his 1843 classic, A Christmas Carol. It’s why, even today, Victorian England is as essential to the holiday lore as a manger in Bethlehem. This book takes a look at that connection with excerpts from the great Dickens’s Christmas-related tales. Included (of course) is a selection from A Christmas Carol, Dickens’ most well-known Yuletide story, as well as selections from Great Expectations, The Pickwick Papers, A Christmas Dinner, and A Christmas Tree.

“No single contemporary artist has, we believe, so successfully caught the Dickens spirit as has Everett Shinn. He has a great personal affection for Dickens’ books and an extraordinary gift of interpretation of the mood and manner of the period.” 

--The Editors, Christmas in Dickens
