A CHRISTMAS CAROL BY CHARLES DICKENS 1858

[DICKENS, CHARLES]. A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas. London: Bradbury & Evans, 1858.

NEW EDITION. Softcover; paperback; small octavo (17.5 x 11 x 1 cm); pp. [8], 100. English text. Publisher's original illustrated paper covers, printed in black, priced one shilling. Condition: VERY GOOD. Contents remaining largely clean, covers a little dust, with slight wear to the spine tips, a previous owner name inked to the half-title page. 

Notes: A very good copy of a cheaply-produced book. This early 'new' shilling edition was not issued with the four Leech colour plates found in the hardcover, but reproduces one plate as the monochrome cover illustration. Scarce.
