This is a special edition of "A Christmas Carol," the profits on which
will go to the Lord Mayor of London's fund for establishing a permanent
Home for Crippled Children. It is especially printed by Messrs. T. and
A. Constable, of Edinburgh, on antique paper, and contains reproductions
of Leech's famous pictures, printed in colour, alter the style of the
originals. In addition, Fred Barnard's charming drawings, which he did
for the Household Edition, carefully reduced to suit the page, are
included, and the volume is appropriately bound, with a figure of
Scrooge on the back and that of Bob Cratchit carrying Tiny Tim home from
church on the front cover, both executed in gold. There is an
introduction from the pen of the Lord Mayor, and there can be no doubt
that for such a deserving object such an appropriate undertaking will
meet with the success it deserves.
