Details
Read the whole of Dickens's Christmas story aloud from a full-size page set in clear, generous type. This is something a screen cannot give: a real book you hold, write in, and hand on.
Who it is for
Families who read A Christmas Carol together every December, grandparents reading to grandchildren, older readers who want comfortable type on a full-size page, and anyone after a Christmas gift that comes back out next year.
What is inside
- The complete text, in Dickens's five staves: Marley's Ghost; The First of the Three Spirits; The Second of the Three Spirits; The Last of the Spirits; The End of It.
- A short plain-English note before each stave, so a listener can pick up the thread, from Marley's chain of cash-boxes to Scrooge's Christmas morning.
- Dickens's own short preface, signed December 1843, with a note on what it means to lay a ghost.
- An About This Book introduction, including why Dickens called his chapters staves.
- A This Book Belongs To page for the name, the giver, the occasion and the year, and a ruled Notes page at the back.
- Body text in 16.5-point Garamond, one column, with 1.25-inch side margins and small flower-and-hummingbird ornaments in the page corners.
