From the Publisher:
Founded in 1906 by J.M. Dent, the Everyman Library has always tried to make the best books ever written available to the greatest number of people at the lowest possible price. Unique editorial features that help Everyman Paperback Classics stand out from the crowd include: a leading scholar or literary critic's introduction to the text, a biography of the author, a chronology of her or his life and times, a historical selection of criticism, and a concise plot summary. All books published since 1993 have also been completely restyled: all type has been reset, to offer a clarity and ease of reading unique among editions of the classics; a vibrant, full-color cover design now complements these great texts with beautiful contemporary works of art. But the best feature must be Everyman's uniquely low price. Each Everyman title offers these extensive materials at a price that competes with the most inexpensive editions on the market-but Everyman Paperbacks have durable binding, quality paper, and the highest editorial and scholarly standards.
From the Back Cover:
Written between 1850 and 1867, the Christmas Stories appeared annually in the Christmas issues of weekly journals. Many are sketches and essays full of autobiographical interest as he recalls childhood stories and scenes, excursions in Europe, a haunted house, and the den of a misanthropic hermit. All the stories Dickens wrote in collaboration with Wilkie Collins are included in full in this edition, presenting these adventure tales in complete form for the first time. This is the first ever annotated edition of these Christmas Stories.
