A Christmas Carol 4.07 (772,442 ratings by Goodreads) Hardback Robert Ingpen Illustrated Classics English By (author) Charles Dickens, Illustrated by Robert Ingpen US31.17 Also available in Paperback US4.13 Free delivery worldwide Available.

It is so awe-inspiring as to make any attempt to comment on techniques used or the quality of the finished product feel a little amateurish. It is very difficult to write a review of a book which simply takes your breath away, as this one does. ![]()
