Oliver is meagerly provided for under the terms of the Poor Law and spends the first nine years of his life living at a baby farm in the 'care' of a woman named Mrs Mann who embezzles much of the money entrusted to the baby farm by the parish. Oliver is brought up with little food and few comforts. Around the time of Oliver's ninth birthday Mr Bumble the parish beadle removes Oliver from the baby farm and puts him to work picking and weaving oakum at the main workhouse. Oliver who toils with very little food remains in the workhouse for six months. One day the desperately hungry boys decide to draw lots; the loser must ask for another portion of gruel. This task falls to Oliver himself who at the next meal comes forward trembling bowl in hand and begs the master for gruel with his famous request: "Please sir I want some more".13"--Wikipedia Nelson Doubleday hardcover books

A Christmas Carol Collector's Edition
New York: Pocket Books 1939. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. Brazelton Julian. Collector's Edition. Lacks publisher's pamphlet. Light general wear. 1939 Hard Cover. We have more books available by this author!. 217 pp. "A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas commonly known as A Christmas Carol is a novella by Charles Dickens first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843 and illustrated by John Leech. A Christmas Carol recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past Present and Yet to Come. After their visits Scrooge is transformed into a kinder gentler man. Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions including carols and newer customs such as Christmas trees. He was influenced by the experiences of his own youth and by the Christmas stories of other authors including Washington Irving and Douglas Jerrold. Dickens had written three Christmas stories prior to the novella and was inspired following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School one of several establishments for London's street children. The treatment of the poor and the ability of a selfish man to redeem himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story. There is discussion among academics as to whether this is a fully secular story or if it is a Christian allegory. Published on 19 December the first edition sold out by Christmas Eve; by the end of 1844 thirteen editions had been released. Most critics reviewed the novella favourably. The story was illicitly copied in January 1844; Dickens took legal action against the publishers who went bankrupt further reducing Dickens's small profits from the publication. He went on to write four other Christmas stories in subsequent years. In 1849 he began public readings of the story which proved so successful he undertook 127 further performances until 1870 the year of his death. A Christmas Carol has never been out of print and has been translated into several languages; the story has been adapted many times for film stage opera and other media. A Christmas Carol captured the zeitgeist of the mid-Victorian revival of the Christmas holiday. Dickens had acknowledged the influence of the modern Western observance of Christmas and later inspired several aspects of Christmas including family gatherings seasonal food and drink dancing games and a festive generosity of spirit."--Wikipedia Pocket Books hardcover books

AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED
1 Devonshire Terrace London 1851. Hand-written letter measuring 4 1/2" x 7". Two horizontal folds to accommodate envelope for mailing. " 1 Devonshire Terrace Eighteenth January 1857. Dear Sir I have been visiting in the country or I should have answered your note sooner. I assure you that I feel under many obligations now and have to thank you for much kindness. I shall be glad to do so in person whenever you find such for time. Give me the opportunity. Faithfully yours Charles Dickens. addressee's name. Signed with Dickens' flourishing paraph. The letter and accompanying portrait were removed from an old frame and restored by a paper conservator.Mold was found on the reverse of the portrait with area of stain at foot of letter. Both were restored to their original conditions and left unframed in conservation papers. The work sheet of the conservator is included. Our research suggests that Dickens was visiting Gad's Hill in Kent when he said he had gone to the country as it was being renovated then retured to Devonshire Terrace for a short time before returning to Gad's Hill . He was also travelling extensively in Europe during this time. He used Gad's Hill as his country house until his death in 1870. I Devonshire Terrace was demolished in 1858-1859. A very nice example of a Dickens letter conserved and ready for framing. Letter of authentification is also included. unknown books

Plain paper copies were issued in wrappers with the text and imprint: "A Reproduction in Exact Fac-simile of the Excessively Rare Original. London: J.W. Jarvis 28 King William Street Strand 1884." As with the Gimbel vellum copy this copy is rebound and without wrappers.

Wise and Jarvis ads and notes "another impression" with the heading "Sunday Under Three Heads" on p. 35. The present copy is without the the introduction and ads though the original Chapman and Hall ads are reproduced at the end and has the heading on p. 35.<br/>Sunday Under Three Heads published under the pseudonym Timothy Sparks was "a pamphlet directed against the Sunday Observance Billl an Evangelical measure which would have severly curtailed the Sunday amusements of the labouring and middle classes" Ackroyd p. 185.
