A Christmas Carol Storybook Advent Calendar

A spectacular free-standing advent calendar which opens to reveal a Dickensian-London street scene, celebrating Charles Dickens’s (1812-70) ‘A Christmas Carol’. Open 24 die-cut windows hidden within the scene and discover illustrations of characters, scenes and short extracts from Dickens’s redemptive tale. Published in London on 19th December 1843, the novella’s first edition had sold-out by Christmas Eve; enjoyed year after year and in print ever since, the story has become a much-loved fixture of the Christmas season. Illustrated with charming details; from the office of Scrooge & Marley to the poulterer with the prize Christmas turkey. Travel with Ebenezer Scrooge as he meets the spirits of Jacob Marley, Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. Spend Christmas with Fezziwig, the Cratchits, and Scrooge’s nephew Fred in the heart-warming story which sees Scrooge transformed from ‘Bah! Humbug!’ to knowing how to ‘keep Christmas well’. And so, as Tony Tim observed, ‘God Bless Us Every One!’. Created in sturdy cardboard, store flat and open to enjoy year and after.
