Book Description
Christmas fascinated the great Victorian novelist Charles Dickens, and to Victorian England, Dickens was Christmas.

Dickens' public, it seemed, couldn't get enough of his depictions of the season.

Packed with delightful seasonal illustrations, including many original Dickens illustrations, this lovingly compiled book celebrates the Victorian Christmas in all its warmth and charm.
