c1880 Christmas Books + American Notes Leather Charles Dickens Antique Book

Christmas Books + American Notes & Reprinted Pieces
By Charles Dickens
With Eight Illustrations (+ Eight)
Published by Chapman And Hall: London c1880 (undated)
In Leather Bindings With Marbled Text Block - All Illustrations Present

"A charming and enduring collection, Christmas Books gathers together Dickens' much-loved seasonal tales, including A Christmas Carol, The Chimes, and The Cricket on the Hearth, each imbued with his signature blend of warmth, moral reflection, and vivid storytelling. These stories explore themes of redemption, generosity, and social conscience, capturing the spirit of Victorian Christmas while delivering timeless messages that continue to resonate. Complementing this is American Notes & Reprinted Pieces, a fascinating mix of travel writing and essays drawn from Dickens' observations during his visit to the United States, alongside a selection of shorter works that showcase his wit, insight, and keen eye for character and society.

This Chapman and Hall edition, published in London circa 1880 (undated), presents these works in a single finely bound Victorian volume. Bound in leather with raised bands and gilt spine titling, the book features an attractive marbled text block and endpapers, typical of late 19th-century editions of Dickens' collected works. The volume is complete with eight illustrations for Christmas Books and a further eight for American Notes & Reprinted Pieces, all present as called for, enhancing both the festive narratives and the observational prose.

Condition is consistent with age, with noticeable rubbing, scuffing, and loss to the leather boards and spine, along with foxing throughout the pages as shown. The binding remains firm and the contents complete, making it a solid and decorative example suitable for display or reading. A characterful Victorian Dickens volume that will appeal to collectors, admirers of classic Christmas literature, and those interested in Dickens' travels and essays."

General wear and some peeling to leather bindings. All illustrations present. Prior owner stamp present as shown otherwise unmarked. Light foxing and general age toning present. Binding is decent with no loose pages - one cluster sits slightly proud of text block. A nice copy of a later Victorian Dickens in good condition overall. Please study photos to further understand condition.
