Description :

Scarce Victorian-era copy of A Christmas Carol in Prose: Being a Ghost Story of Christmas by Charles Dickens. This Ninth Edition was published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1854 and features illustrations by renowned artist John Leech. The volume retains its original decorated cloth binding with gilt-stamped wreath design and title to the front cover. An early owner's inscription appears at the top of the title page. The book exhibits age-related wear to the binding, including rubbing, discoloration, edge wear, and fraying at the spine ends, consistent with a mid-19th century publication. A desirable early edition of Dickens' beloved holiday classic and a notable piece of Victorian literary history.
