Our Christmas traditions owe much to the festivities described in A Christmas Carol. In this beautiful boxed set, Dickens' magical novella is joined by two further Christmas stories that he wrote for Household Words — The Chimes and The Cricket on the Hearth. This volume, together with the perennial childhood classics Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass and The Wizard of Oz comprise this collection which is the perfect Christmas gift for children and adults alike. All three books are fully illustrated.
