This is one lot with four books by Charles Dickens all related to Christmas. a) A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens, New York & London, G.P. Putnam’s Sons 1900, Copyright, 1900 (for Designs) By G.P. Putnam’s Sons, The Knickerbocker Press, New York at bottom of the copyright page, the illustrations are from designs by Frederick Coburn, with twelve illustrations in photogravure, including the frontispiece, and nineteen illustrations in black and white, instead of photogravure, with red-captioned tissue guards present for each plate; 3/4 bound, four raised bands, with gilt labels and gilt lettering on the spine, modest decorations on the spine, with marbled covers and endpapers; the top edge is gilt, the book is 157 pages long and measures 7 3/4 x 5 1/2 in. wide, with light rubbing and modest wear at the tips. This was the first of Dickens’ Christmas books and came out in 1843, and it’s a perennial favorite of children and people who love Christmas. b) A Christmas Carol By Charles Dickens, Illustrated By Fritz Kredel For The Peter Pauper Press, Mount Vernon, New York, circa 1944, with a green slipcase, red and green holly decorations on cover, blank endpapers, a red topstain, and inscribed “Ashley Day Leavitt, best times for 1944 - last paragraph on page 26” on the second front free endpaper; Ashley Day Leavitt (1877–1959) was a Yale-educated Congregational minister who led the State Street Church in Portland, Maine, and later the Harvard Congregational Church in Brookline, Massachusetts; he was a frequent public speaker during the early twentieth century and was awarded an honorary degree from Bowdoin College for his pastorship of several congregations during wartime; the last paragraph on page 26 starts with “Mankind is my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence were, all, my business”; the book also includes a Christmas card which reads “The Reading of the Christmas Carol by Dr. Leavitt on Wednesday night before Christmas is one of our richest traditions. So we are sending it to you that wherever you may be on date, you may share with us the Christmas Spirit of Harvard Church”; a topstain is a normal coloring applied by the printer and does not indicate a “stain” on a book - it is not a “bad” thing; the book is 8vo. and possibly a first edition by Peter Pauper Press - 1944 is an early date for a Peter Pauper edition of this book - and book is 108 pages long and the slipcase measures 8 3/8 x 6 in. wide, with light browning on the spine and a tape mark on the front free endpaper where the Christmas card was attached to the book; the inscription by Ashley Day Leavitt and the attached card is what makes this book noteworthy. c) The Holly-Tree, By Charles Dickens, With An Introduction By Walter Jerrold, Thirty-one Illustrations, Philadelphia: Henry Altemus Company on the title page, Copyright 1904 Henry Altemus on the copyright page, with the dust jacket, a beautifully illustrated front cover on the book itself, vignette endpapers with the owner’s name and date inscribed on the front free endpaper (“Elva Bommuleir from Mita G Ott, XMas 1910”), with an attractive colored frontis, black and white illustrations inside, 109 pages (counting the illustration on the last page), and the dust jacket reads “The Holly-Tree No. 1” on the spine and is the first in the Holly-Tree series by Altemus. The book measures 7 1/2 x 5 1/2 in. wide and the green hard-bound volume is in excellent condition, while the dust jacket is in great condition on the back and has some modest chips on the crown and the tips of the front cover. The Holly-Tree Inn was originally published as a short story in the Christmas 1855 edition of Household Words, a publication edited by Dickens in the 1850’s, and it was considered a portmanteau story, or a story written by several authors. The portmanteau story lent itself well to the medium of weekly publications because it allowed for authors to work together to compile a single plot rather quickly, and such stories increased in popularity during the Victorian era. Dickens only wrote three of the sections and the framing story for The Holly Tree Inn (The Guest, The Boots, and The Bill), and Wilkie Collins and three others contributed to the rest of this special Christmas extra. The story published in book form here is called a first edition thus by Altemus because it is based on the original story and has only one date on the copyright page and no additional printings. See Bill McBride, A Pocket Guide to the Identifications of First Editions, West Hartford, Ct., 1995 for first editions by Chapman And Hall. d) The Readings Of Charles Dickens As Arranged And Read By Himself, With Illustrations, London: Chapman & Hall 1883 on the front cover, and “Copyright” at the bottom of the front cover, The Readings of Mr. Charles Dickens, As Condensed By Himself on the title page, Price Sixpence, green wrappers, 64 pages, double columns, with ads on the interior front cover and on the interior and exterior covers at the rear. Dickens started doing readings for charity in 1853, and the readings here include A Christmas Carol In Four Staves, Bardell And Pickwick, David Copperfield, Mr. Bob Sawyer’s Party, The Story of Little Dombey, Nicholas Nickleby Four Chapters, Boots At The Holly-Tree Inn, Doctor Marigold, Nicholas Nickleby Three Chapters, and Mrs. Gamp; the book measures 11 1/2 x 8 1/2 in. wide, the front cover is detached and has wear, and there are creases at the tips on some pages, but very readable.
