An explanation of the Illustrated Pocket Library of Plain and Coloured Books: Messrs. Methuen are publishing a series in small form of some of the rare and famous illustrated books of fiction and general literature, faithfully reprinted from the first or best editions without introduction or notes. The particular and attractive feature of these books is the reproduction of all the illustrations which appeared in the original issues : illustrations which are part and parcel of the books, and which, from their beauty or skill or humour, had often a greater share of their success than the text itself. Most of these books had coloured illustrations, and they are here similarly given. Wherever it is possible the books are contained within one volume. "A really brilliant idea brilliantly carried out." - Sphere. In red cloth bindings with paper labels to the spines. Externally, generally smart, lightly rubbed in places. Corners are slightly bumped on all volumes. Spines are sunned. There is some discolouration to the boards on some volumes. Internally, generally firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean, with some scattered light foxing. Very Good. book.

No writer is more closely associated with Christmas than Charles Dickens, who began with the immortal A Christmas Carol in November 1843. It was published on December 19 and sold so well there were seven editions by the following May. The Chimes followed in December 1844, and three more books appeared in 1845, 1846, and 1848 (two of the title page dates follow the then-common practice of dating a book published in November or December with the coming year). The enduring appeal of Dickens' Christmas stories lies in his unmatched ability to combine sentimentality with melancholy or righteous fury, a balancing act of light and dark. A Christmas Carol, composed as Dickens walked weeping through the dark London streets, was intended to draw attention to the plight of the working poor in London. The Chimes attacks the cruelty and hypocrisy of the rich, and the protagonist of The Cricket on the Hearth contemplates murder. The Haunted Man, the last novella, emphasizes the need to remember past sorrows and hardships. Dickens wanted his Christmas books to be pretty his specifications for the first cut severely into his profits and it is appropriate that these copies have been given jewel-like bindings by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, one of the most famous fine binderies in the English-speaking world. A beautiful set of beautiful stories, illustrated by the leading artists of the day.
