Tenniel and F. Stone Thompson G. Dalziel E. Dalziel T. Williams Swain and Groves. A Christmas Carol is the high point and the crucial component in any set of Dickens’s Christmas Books. Dickens kept its production on a short leash and anecdotes abound about his pleasure or displeasure with the differently colored endpapers the color of the cloth for the binding the typography and so forth. Oddly enough despite Dickens’ personal attention to this edition it is not a particularly well-made title. Coupled with the legions of fans who often read their copies “to death†it comes as no surprise that original and well-preserved copies of this book in its correct state seldom appear on the market. The Chimes written in Genoa Italy was commercially more successful than A Christmas Carol and Dickens worked hard to make this second Christmas book a worthy successor. The Cricket. grew from the idea to begin a weekly periodical which would have been called “The Cricket†though was abandoned quickly for a more important venture and the founding of The Daily News. The Cricket was wildly successful doubling in circulation of both its predecessors. Dickens wrote The Battle of Life during a period of recuperation needed after illness attributed to overworking; despite being seriously indisposed he managed to complete the work while working on Dombey and Son though it was not as successful as his other Christmas books thus far. The Haunted Man. was the last of the Christmas books and despite requiring a final rally from the author to avoid disappointing the public the book is considered the least interesting and lowest grossing of the Christmas books; the issue of 20000 had not completely sold when the author died. All books are in their most desirable states as follows:A Christmas Carol.: i-viii 1-166 2 ads pp. First edition first issue. Green endpapers; “Stave I†on pp. 1; uncorrected text throughout; red-and-blue printed title page with four color etchings and four woodcuts full-page color etchings.
