The impact of the story may not always have been so dramatic but, along with Dickens other Christmas writings, it has had a lasting and significant influence upon our ideas about the Christmas spirit, and about the season as a time for celebration, charity, and memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePenguin Clothbound Classics are bound in cloth and not paper. The design is stamped on in foil, and each cover repeats one small icon taken from the story. The series was designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith, who took her inspiration from Victorian bookbinding. Each book has coloured endpapers and a ribbon bookmark. They make beautiful presents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe foil can rub off if the books are stacked tightly, so give them a little room on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: Charles Dickens\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eChristmas, Classic fiction (pre c 1945)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 25 Nov 2010 by Penguin Books Ltd.\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dickens, Charles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55718400917882,"sku":"9780141195858","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/9780141195858.jpg?v=1754413516","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/ar\/products\/a-christmas-carol-and-other-christmas-writings-9780141195858","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
