A Christmas Carol · In Prose · A Ghost Story of Christmas · Charles Dickens · With Illustrations by John Leech
Preface
BEING
BY
I HAVE endeavoured in this Ghostly little book, to raise
the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humour with
themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt
their houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it.
Their faithful Friend and Servant,
C. D.
December, 1843.
