Want to take "A Christmas Carol" on the go? This compact edition of Dickens' classic tale is almost exactly like the original, along with its original illustrations, but designed to be small enough to fit in your pocket, bag, or purse. If you're looking for a classic tale to read while on a plane or in a car, this popular Christmas story and edition is what you want. The illustrations are in black and white rather than in full color, like the original (full color edition: ISBN: 9781936830886), but otherwise, the book is just as Dickens first wrote it.
