Alpo Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 How about a facsimile of the original manuscript of A Christmas Carol. With, of course, a printed version, in case you can't read ol' Charlie's handwriting. https://www.fadedpage.com/showbook.php?pid=20091008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tell Sackett SASS 18436 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 A Christmas Carol- the only Dickens I've ever been able to read. And it's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 I enjoyed A Christmas Carol. Was forced to read Great Expectations in 9th grade English. Turned me off Dickens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MizPete Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I've always had a fondness for Victorian literature. Great Expectations is not my favorite Dickens. But after reading Dickens, you may note his influence on Stephen King's work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
