“Paraclete Press has created a stocking stuffer sure to convey the holiday spirit—an affordable paperback edition of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol featuring the illustrations that adorned the first edition 173 years ago." —Ray Kelly, The Republican
"The print is good. It’s very readable. As a highlight, it is printed with the original 1843 etchings. This gives the book a certain connection to the original. If you love Christmas and want to catch the spirit of the season, there are no better options than A Christmas Carol." —Robert Cornwall
"What I haven’t had is a handy paperback, suitable to reading to a child (or oneself) in bed, or for tucking into a purse or backpack while traveling over the holidays. Paraclete Press has just published exactly the right edition for that need, one that includes the 1843 illustrations, with comfortably large print for bedside lamp-lighters. If you haven’t read the full text, or haven’t read it recently, it would be a great addition to your home library. And unless your holiday decorations are, well, Scrooge-like, it would be a perfect stocking stuffer." — Martha Spong
"A beautiful gift for the whole family, Charles Dickens’ classic novel, A Christmas Carol, gets a printed makeover that includes illustrations from the original 1834 publication by Paraclete Press. It is a perfect gift for the whole family or for anyone who wants to curl up to this story with a cup of hot cocoa, relive Scrooge’s ghosts of Christmas past, present and future, and commit like him to “honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach.” — Phoebe Farag Mikhail
