A Christmas Carol: The Heirloom Edition

Rating:
Summary: A Choppily Abridged Carol
Review: Although the artwork in this book is great, readers should be warned that the text is a heavy-handed abridgement of Charles Dickens's wonderful little novel. It omits far too much of the rich and colorful language of this stirring novelette.

Rating:
Summary: Retold version of a classic tale
Review: I bought this book to replace my old copy that was lost during a recent move. The book is finely illustrated but the narrative is so full of gaping wounds that the entire charm of the story is lost. I should have searched a little harder for a COMPLETE version.
