Description
Charles Dickens's beloved tale of the Christmas spirit is beautifully presented in this deluxe new illustrated edition.
Contemporary artist and illustrator Yelena Bryksenkova has created enchanting artwork to accompany Dickens's classic story of Ebenezer Scrooge and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Gorgeous watercolors evoke the magic of a Victorian Christmas while simultaneously infusing this timeless text with a touch of modern-day whimsy.
With gilded page edges and a satin ribbon marker, this lavish keepsake volume is tomorrow's cherished family heirloom—an essential holiday treasure to read year after year around the fire, under the tree, or with the plum pudding.
★ "Bryksenkova's illustrations add a dash of whimsy to the novella, but also serve to underscore the darkness inherent in the story.... Yet her art isn't all doom and gloom. Bryksenkova's pictures capture the delicate beauty of Christmastime with muted colors interrupted by pops of vivid reds and greens.... It isn't just Bryksenkova's illustrations that lend this version of A Christmas Carol its renewed charm. The use of the text--which alternates vastly in size--to highlight different portions of the story, such as the introduction of Ignorance and Want by the Ghost of Christmas Present, makes certain scenes even more impactful. In fact, the way the text and images intermingle is the best part of this version of A Christmas Carol." - Victorian Homes magazine
