AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Very beautiful edition of this charming work by Dickens, magnificently illustrated by Gustave Doré.
Gilded half-leather binding in perfect condition – interior very fresh
35 wood engravings printed on a yellow background in the text – some show a shadow.
Preserved at the binding, green cover bearing on the front a broad paper-lace printed and illustrated in color.
Edition of 900 copies. This one is one of 850 on Lana (no. 402).

This idyllic day that begins for all the children of the world, isn't that the magic of Christmas? But in this tale, Christmas does even more: it transforms a cruel money-grubber into a generous man who is attentive to those around him! A lovely lesson in humanity, for young and old.
