"A Christmas Carol" - Charles Dickens's Dramatic Reading as Read in America (1876)

Lee & Shepard (Boston)

We go back to the nineteenth century for this cool item: the text of "A Christmas Carol" as used by Charles Dickens in his public readings.



With so many adaptations over the years, it's always interesting to see how Charles Dickens himself condensed the story for maximum dramatic effect.




Maybe actually endorsed by Mr. Dickens, maybe not, but in a neat paper cover for 15 cents!
