A CHRISTMAS CAROL - Cover of the first edition, 1843 - plus some of the hand painted illustrations by John Leech, Chapman & Hall. Dickens paid for the printing himself, but set the price low (five shillings) - a triumph of art over business.

I love this happy illustration by Norman Rockwell of a Victorian couple dancing. It was painted for the December cover of The Saturday Evening Post in 1928. It reminds me of Mr. Fezziwig from Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

My version of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.  
I’ve just listened to a very good episode of In Our Time with Melvyn Bragg on Radio 4. Melvyn and the panel discuss A Christmas Carol and the history of Dickens’ writing it.

Scrooge: “You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato. There’s more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!”

Dickens gioca con i sensi,il profumo del dolce sulla tavola,la consapevolezza degli odori,con il recupero dei ricordi.Niente è più evocativo degli odori,e finalmente il trascorrere del tempo trova un senso.
