There has been considerable confusion caused by the “undated” facsimile editions of the “Carol” being mistaken for, or incorrectly identified as original first or early editions of the book. There are primarily two reasons I have prepared this unofficial bibliography of the published facsimile editions of “A Christmas Carol.” There is just something special about reading the “Carol” in the original size, texture, typeset and details of the novella written in Dickens’ descriptive Victorian vernacular with the original John Leech’s illustrations. Over the past 45 years, I have enjoyed all the different editions in my collection however, other than the first edition and subsequent “impressions” (2nd through 14th editions with minor textural corrections) that followed, I have a fondness for the facsimile editions. le: an exact copy or reproduction, especially of written or printed material.Facsimile Editions of “A Christmas Carol”įac
