Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol tells the time-honored tale of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, whose encounters with the ghosts of Jacob Marley, Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Yet to Come lead him to examine his bitter existence. Haunting steampunk illustrations by acclaimed artist Zdenko Basic accompany the original story, transforming this Christmas classic like never before.

Images of steam-powered machinery, a chilling industrial London, and ornate mechanical gears come together as Scrooge travels through his life on Christmas Eve night. Additionally, Charles Dickens' celebrated short stores, The Story of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton and A Christmas Tree are included and paired with equally enchanting steampunk illustrations. Those of us who cherish each holiday with Dickens in our hearts - the man who has linked the Christmas spirit with love, forgiveness, and charity - will treasure this rare collector's edition for this Christmas and many to come.
