The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain, Charles Dickens, 1887 [Illustrated]

A later nineteenth-century edition of Dickens’s final Christmas book, first published in 1848. A moral and psychological ghost story centred on memory, remorse, and the human cost of erasing past suffering, it reflects Dickens’s mature social concerns and sombre tone. An attractive example of this enduring seasonal tale in Victorian book form. Illustrations from John Tenniel, John Leech & others.
