Charles Dickens
The Chimes: A Goblin Story
London: Chapman and Hall 1845. First edition. Hardcover. Richard Doyle John Leech Daniel Maclise Clarkson Stanfield. This is a handsome copy of the first edition first state of the second Dickens Christmas book unrestored in the publishers original illustrated red cloth. <br /> <br />Condition is very good. The elaborately gilt and blind stamped red cloth is square and tight. Color is noteworthy the covers bright the spine only slightly dulled. Soiling is quite light. Shelf wear manifests primarily at the gently bruised corners wrinkled spine ends a slightly frayed spine heel and the joints which show a few tiny abrasion holes. Overall presentation is nonetheless quite good and binding integrity uncompromised. The contents are notably clean. The only previous ownership mark found is a tiny gilt and black printed booksellers ticket HALE & ROWORTH Stationers Bookbinders & c. of MANCHESTER - affixed to the upper front pastedown. The gilt edges remain bright. We find no appreciable spotting. First state is confirmed by CHAPMAN & HALL printed within the bottom edge of the vignette title page illustration above the names of the artist and engraver rather than below. The binding is protected beneath a clear removable mylar cover. <br /> <br />Although the title page of The Chimes is postdated 1845 publication was on 16 December 1844. <br /> <br />Charles John Huffam Dickens 1812-1870 was an English writer and social critic widely viewed as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. In October 1843 he had the sudden inspiration of writing a Christmas story intended to open its readers' hearts towards those struggling to survive on the lower rungs of the economic ladder and to encourage practical benevolence but also to warn of the terrible danger to society created by the toleration of widespread ignorance and actual want among the poor. The result written at white heat was A Christmas Carol: in Prose published by Chapman and Hall on 19 December as a handsomely bound little volume which met with marked success. The first edition sold out by Christmas Eve. By 1844 the novella had gone through 13 printings. Myriad editions as well as stage and screen adaptations continue to accumulate with no apparent slackening of pace or interest over time. <br /> <br />Christmas Carol was only the first and foremost of several Christmas-themed stories. Dickens eventually produced five Christmas books. The Carols more overtly political successor The Chimes followed in December 1844 The Cricket on the Hearth in December 1845 and The Battle of Life in December 1846. Dickenss fifth and final Christmas Book The Haunted Man was published in December 1848. <br /> <br />The Christmas books particularly The Chimes The Cricket and the Carol were the centerpiece of Dickens public reading tours in the 1850s and 60s. In The Chimes the story centers around Trotty Veck a poor ticket porter whose outlook is converted from despair to hope by the spirits of the chimes on New Year's Eve. <br /> <br />Reference: Smith II 5; ODNB <br/><br/> Chapman and Hall hardcover

The Christmas Stories of Charles Dickens.
<p>Binding faded in parts some foxing. Red cloth binding with gilt title on the spine and on the front board.</p><p>A rare reproduction of these most loved stories</p><p>This edition brings together the complete Christmas stories of Charles Dickens. In this volume you will find the following entertaining holiday tales: A Christmas Tree What Christmas is as We Grow Older The Poor Relation's Story The Child's Story The Schoolboy's Story Nobody's Story The Seven Poor Travellers The Holly-Tree The Wreck of the Golden Mary The Perils of Certain English Prisoners Going into Society The Haunted House A Message from the Sea Tom Tiddler's Ground Somebody's Luggage Mrs. Lirriper's Lodgings Mrs. Lirriper's Legacy Doctor Marigold The Trial for Murder The Signal-Man Mugby Junction and No Thoroughfare.</p><p>Review: I am happy to see these lesser-known titles in print but devastated to think they are sold as the"" complete" Dickens Christmas stories. Have we forgotten "A Christmas Carol Now sad to say his best Christmas stories: The Cricket on the Hearth The Haunted Man The Chimes and others which used to be available in a Penguin paperback boxed set are sadly missing from this collection. It is very unfortunate that people are led to believe such titles do not exist. Great pity they will miss them. Dickens seems to be disappearing from literature faster than Marley's ghost.</p><p>Charles Dickens was born in 1812 near Portsmouth where his father was a clerk in the navy pay office. The family moved to London in 1823 but their fortunes were severely impaired. Dickens was sent to work in a blacking-warehouse when his father was imprisoned for debt. Both experiences deeply affected the future novelist. In 1833 he began contributing stories to newspapers and magazines and in 1836 started the serial publication of Pickwick Papers. Thereafter Dickens published his major novels over the course of the next twenty years from Nicholas Nickleby to Little Dorrit. He also edited the journals Household Words and All the Year Round. Dickens died in June 1870.</p> Jonathan Cape. hardcover

Heeding the dreadful warning of what is to be if Scrooge does not mend his ways the old miser repents and is suffused with Christmas spirit.Along with The Chimes and The Cricket on the Hearth A Christmas Carol celebrates the joys of the festive season. Each of these books is politically provocative and aims to stimulate the reader's pity and charity for the poor but the tone is so intimate and the style so humorous that poverty and ignorance yield to generosity and compassion.</p> Penguin Books hardcover

It tells of Scrooge now a byword for misanthropy and avarice who is transported through time to the Christmases of his childhood of the present and of the future. Heeding the dreadful warning of what is to be if Scrooge does not mend his ways the old miser repents and is suffused with Christmas spirit.Along with The Chimes and The Cricket on the Hearth A Christmas Carol celebrates the joys of the festive season. Each of these books is politically provocative and aims to stimulate the reader's pity and charity for the poor but the tone is so intimate and the style so humorous that poverty and ignorance yield to generosity and compassion.</p> Penguin Books hardcover
