Dickens Charles
The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby.
London: Chapman and Hall 1839. First edition of one of Dickens' most popular novels. Octavo bound in full morocco by Morrell ornate inlay to the spine front and rear panels raised bands inner dentelles illustrated with 40 plates. In fine condition. Housed in a custom slipcase. An exceptional presentation. In 1867 Charles Dickens began his second American reading tour at Boston's Tremont Temple where an enthusiastic audience delighted in some of his most notable works members of the audience included legendary literary stars such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Although Dickens was in declining health he embarked on an ambitious travel schedule across the United States. Dickens returned to Boston once more before concluding his U.S. tour in New York City. When Charles Dickens arrived in Boston on November 19 1867 the celebrated English author spent several days at the Parker House hotel recuperating from the voyage. As conscientious a performer as he was a writer Dickens had prepared diligently for his performances redrafting and memorizing key passages from his books especially for these engagements. He used a book only as a prop; he was so familiar with the material that he could improvise with ease. However during his 1867-1868 tour he was plagued with Flu-like symptoms insomnia and an inflammation of his foot which forced him to walk with a cane. During his last tours in 1868 Dickens confined much of his performances to the New England area. Dickens was grateful for the income he desperately needed from his readings which generated $140000 close to $2000000 today; but he longed for home. On April 8 1868 Dickens gave the last performance of the tour. Prolonged applause followed the reading. He closed by telling the audience "In this brief life of ours it is sad to do almost anything for the last time. Ladies and gentlemen I beg most earnestly most gratefully and most affectionately to bid you each and all farewell." He died two years later having written 14 novels several of which are considered classics of English literature. Chapman and Hall hardcover

DICKENS Charles.
A Christmas Carol.
London and New York: The King Penguin Books 1946. Pictorial binding by Bayntun Octavo 176 x 117 mm. Recent red morocco by Bayntun spine lettered in gilt gilt holly and ivy motifs to compartments gilt holly and ivy frame to covers front cover with coloured morocco onlay vignette after the frontispiece gilt turn-ins marbled endpapers gilt edges. Housed in a custom red cloth slipcase. A fine copy. A beautifully bound copy of Dickens's Christmas classic being the first King Penguin facsimile edition after the original first edition of 1843. A Christmas Carol was an instant success reportedly selling all 6000 copies of the first edition on the first day of publication and Dickens went on to write four more small festive books for each successive Christmas. Of the five Christmas books however it is A Christmas Carol which has best stood the test of time and remains the most famous of all Christmas stories. "It is rather as if Dickens had rewritten a religious tract and filled it both with his own memories and with all the concerns of the period. He had in other words created a modern fairy story. And so it has remained" Peter Ackroyd p. 413. London and New York: The King Penguin Books, hardcover

Bookplates of Jeffrey Stern and Virginian bibliophile Christopher Clark Geest to front pastedown Stern's ownership inscription to first blank. A little rubbing to extremities touch of wear to tips a couple of scuffs to leather; a very good copy indeed. An attractive collection of nine of Dickens's Christmas Stories bound from the original parts consisting of What Christmas Is 1851 The Poor Relation's Story 1852 The Schoolboy's Story 1853 The Seven Poor Travellers 1854 The Holly-Tree Inn 1855 A House to Let 1858 The Haunted House 1859 A Message from the Sea 1860 and Somebody's Luggage 1862. Dickens edited Household Words and All the Year Round between 1850 and 1859 and 1859 and 1895 respectively. While there he organised these seasonal offerings analogous to his five Christmas Books by writing "in company"; composing the opening and closing pieces as a frame for stories supplied by his staff writers the majority of whom were women. The formula that Dickens pursued from 1852 to 1866 involved gathering together a group of disparate individuals who would while away a Christmas Eve by recounting various stories in the manner of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
