In October 1843, Charles Dickens, heavily in debt and obligated to his publisher, began work to help his family's meagre income. A Christmas Carol has long since become one of the most beloved in the English language. As much a part of the holiday season as holly, mistletoe, and evergreen wreaths, this perennial favourite continues to delight and rekindle thoughts of charity and goodwill. With its characters exhibiting many qualities often ascribed to Dickens himself, the imaginative and entertaining tale relates Ebenezer Scrooge's eerie encounters with spectral visitors. Journeying through Christmases past, present, and future, he is ultimately transformed from an arrogant, obstinate, and insensitive miser to a generous, warm-hearted, and caring human being. Written by one of England's greatest and most popular novelists, A Christmas Carol has come to epitomize the true meaning of Christmas.

Notes Hudson: "[Rackham] is not usually remembered as an illustrator of Dickens, but A Christmas Carol was decidedly successful, for he contrived to adapt the tradition of 'Phiz' and Cruikshank to his own characteristic style in the pictures of Victorian London and at the same time found scope for his fantasy in the ghost scenes. We also find him here developing his special talent for silhouette, rare among illustrators. He was well qualified by sympathy to interpret Dickens in certain of his moods" Latimore and Haskell p. 44; Riall, p. 124; Hudson p. 106 Original full gilt-decorated vellum, t.e.g. Silk ties renewed.

?Rackham wird gewöhnlich nicht im Zusammenhang mit Dickens in Erinnerung bleiben, doch seine Illustrationen des Weihnachtsmärchens (1915) waren überaus erfolgreich, denn er verstand es, die Tradition von `Phiz` und Cruikshank in den Bildern des viktorianischen London in seinen eigenen Stil zu integrieren, und gleichzeitig in den Geisterszenen Raum für seine Fantasie zu finden. Hier entwickelt er auch sein besonderes Talent für Scherenschnitte, das unter Illustratoren selten ist? (Hudson, Arthur Rackham, S. 106).
