"A Christmas Carol" (1961)
World Publishing Company
Illustrator: Ronald Searle
We meet up again with Ronald Searle with this 1961 edition of "A Christmas Carol" with additional illustrations not included in the LIFE Magazine story that we had just seen.

Here's a look at some of them, starting with this nice frontispiece:

The LIFE article doesn't say anything about the book coming out and makes it sound as if LIFE commissioned the paintings they used.
Whatever the case, there's a lot of fun artwork here!
