1906 Christmas Stories by Charles Dickens - Illustrated Antique Book - Short Stories Which Do NOT Include The Longer A Christmas Carol

In very good condition, here is an antique copy of Christmas Stories and Other Stories by Charles Dickens. PLEASE NOTE - the Stories collection is a compilation of Dickens' later Christmas short stories. These were written after his longer Christmas novellas and so this selection does NOT include A Christmas Carol. Undated, but would have been published by Chapman and Hall, London in 1906. Has 34 black and white illustrations by various artists. More details below.

Inside the pages are bright and tightly bound. Red marbled endpapers - has an inked inscription at the top of the front free endpaper. (Partially obscured in the photos for data protection). Has some tape marks to the blank verso of the marbled endpaper at the front, and the same at the back (see photos). Mild spotting to endpapers, bottom edge and the odd brown blemish in the text. One page has a small nicked fore-edge. The top closed edge is shiny gilt.

Bright-red cloth backed boards have shiny gilt decoration to the front and spine. All in very good order. Slight fading to the red on the spine and just a little fraying to the cloth at the spine head - but minor. A few small, thin scratches to the red cloth on the back. An eye-catching copy.

Your vintage copy of Christmas Stories will be wrapped with care in tissue and ribbon* and sent well packaged, tracked and insured. I am always happy to add a gift card with a message if desired.
