A Christmas carol : the original manuscript edition

Dickens, Charles 1812-1870 (author.). Tóibín, Colm, 1955- (writer of foreword.). Kiely, Declan, (writer of introduction.). Pierpont Morgan Library, (associated institution.).

Summary: "A first-ever trade edition of the original manuscript of the beloved Christmas classic. Every year at the holidays, the historic Morgan Library & Museum in Manhattan displays one of the crown jewels of its extraordinary collection: the original manuscript of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, with its detailed emendations, deletions, and insertions in Dickens's own hand. Here, for the first time in a beautiful trade edition, A Christmas Carol: The Original Manuscript Edition presents a facsimile of that invaluable manuscript, along with a typeset version of the story, a fascinating introduction by the Morgan's chief literary curator on the history of the story, and a new foreword by Colm Tóibín celebrating its timeless appeal."--
A miser learns the true meaning of Christmas when three ghostly visitors review his past and foretell his future.
