A Christmas Carol – Wordsworth Collector’s Edition

“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.”

No festive tale captures the spirit of the season quite like Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. At the heart of this beloved story is Ebenezer Scrooge, a cold-hearted miser who scorns joy, kindness and Christmas itself. But on one unforgettable Christmas Eve, he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley, followed by the three Spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Future.

As the spirits guide him through scenes of memory, reality, and what might yet come, Scrooge begins to see the true cost of his ways — and the priceless value of generosity, compassion, and human connection. Alongside Scrooge, we meet a cast of classic Dickensian characters: the jovial Fezziwig, the gentle Cratchit family, and dear, ailing Tiny Tim, whose hopeful words echo long after the final page.

First published in 1843, A Christmas Carol remains one of the most heartwarming and enduring stories ever told — a timeless celebration of second chances and the redemptive power of love.

Part of the Wordsworth Collector’s Edition series, this beautifully cloth-bound hardback features matching coloured endpapers and elegant gold and coloured foiling — a keepsake as magical as the story it holds.

To make your gift extra special, you can include a handwritten message inside – a truly personal touch that captures the warmth and meaning of the season.
