Charles Dickens wrote "A Christmas Carol" in six weeks at the end
of 1843, during a particularly intense time of creativity. He was
having financial difficulties and was determined to have the
manuscript ready for publication for the Christmas market. This
book contains an original size clear copy Dickens' one and only
manuscript, written by his hand, with his revisions and corrections
evident on every page. The revisions show how Dickens made the
verbs become more active, the number of words became fewer,
achieving greater immediacy and vividness. This manuscript was
handed to the printer in this form and was published on 19th
December 1843. This edition has each of the 66 pages of the
original manuscript copied onto the left hand page and the
corresponding words typed on the right hand page. The book also
contains the eight original illustrations by John Leech, the four
color illustrations are on the cover of the book.
