1892 Christmas Stories by Charles Dickens / NB Does NOT Include The Longer Novella A Christmas Carol / Antique Book / Leather / Large Format

With some wear to the boards, but I think this adds to the antique charm of this large leather-bound hardback copy of Charles Dickens' Christmas Stories. Published in 1892 by Chapman & Hall, London. PLEASE NOTE this is a short story collection and does not include the longer novella A Christmas Carol. A super vintage copy which appears un-read.

Includes: The Holly Tree and The Haunted House amongst many other stories.

Inside the pages are clean and tightly bound with no writing or other markings of previous ownership. With a cracked hinge at the front but in no way effecting the binding of the text block which is good and strong. Has a number of black and white illustrations. The outside edges of the pages have a speckled pattern as published. 

In a brown leather binding, with brown cloth sides. Has rubbing and staining to the leather and some areas where the top surface layer has peeled (see photos). There is an area at the bottom of the rear board where the brown cloth has rubbed away to reveal the boards beneath (see photos). With Moroccan leather title plate and five raised bands to the spine with gilt decoration.

So with some wear but with a definite Dickensian Christmassy feel to it. Would make a great Christmas prop.

Your antique copy of The Christmas Stories of Charles Dickens will be wrapped with care in tissue and ribbon* and sent well packaged. I am always happy to add a gift message to the parcel if desired.
