Charles Dickens (1812 70) was an established novelist when he
decided to produce a Christmas story, which was written in only six
weeks and published at the end of 1843. The book was an immediate
bestseller, and had it not been for the very high production costs
of the specially commissioned illustrations and the decorative
binding, it would have been a great commercial success. This
strategic error meant that Dickens did not make the profits he
expected, which contributed to his falling out with the publishers,
Chapman and Hall. The story, however, has endured to this day as a
classic and remains Dickens' best-known and most adapted work. This
reissue of the first edition, with its famous illustrations by
Punch caricaturist John Leech (1817 64), is printed in black and
white, but the four colour illustrations found in the original can
be viewed at http: //www.cambridge.org/9781108060400."
