Forlagsbeskrivelse af Christmas Classics Collection af Charles Dickens

This ornate 3-volume box set brings together the classic Christmas tales, A Christmas Carol, The Nutcracker, and Old Christmas, presented as delightful pocket editions with gold gilded page edges and classic pen-and-ink illustrations. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens tells the tale of grumpy miser Ebenezer Scrooge and his visits from three Christmas spirits who show him the error of his ways. Through his visions of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, he discovers the true meaning of Christmas - a time of peace and goodwill to all men. This handsome facsimile edition features original full-colour illustrations by Randolph Caldecott and gold gilded page edges. Old Christmas by Washington Irving includes five stories which describe English traditions of Christmas. They recall the festivities that Irving experienced while visiting a remote English mansion, including the sumptuous banquet and joyful family time of the Christmas dinner. These nostalgic recollections of Christmas in 19th century England are a wonderful way to learn about festive traditions and relish in the cosy charm of a vintage Christmas. This edition features original black and white illustrations by John Leech and silver gilded page edges. The Nutcracker by E. T. A. Hoffmann tells the tale of Marie and her nutcracker doll which comes to life! The Nutcracker must fight the Mouse King and his armies with the help of an entire cabinet of Marie''s playthings. He then whisks Marie away to a magical kingdom populated by dolls. This fantastical tale is a timeless classic of the Christmas season and went on to inspire Tchaikovsky''s world-famous ballet The Nutcracker. This edition features traditional illustrations and beautiful silver gilded page edges. A wonderful way to bring in the Yuletide season, these classics tales celebrate the traditions and significance of Christmas time and its festivities. They are each presented in beautiful pocket-sized gift editions with foil embossed cover designs, gilded page edges and delightful pen-and-ink illustrations. Together these volumes fit handsomely into a decorative box set.
