The work was extravagantly costly as Dickens for the first time (and incidentally his last) used color in the title-page and etchings as he wanted to make the book a beautiful gift and to be a celebration of the Christmas spirit. After the initial success, Dickens continued the series throughout the 1840's, maintaining "the Carol" philosophy to "strike a sledgehammer blow" for the poor, uneducated, and repressed.

Lea.</li><li>London: George Willdey, circa 1732.</li><li>Old color.</li></ul> Over the years, a number of changes had been made to the plate: the original title was replaced by the view of Launceston c. 1665; the arms of Elizabeth I were replaced by those of Charles I, then Charles II; the panel of armorials were added c. 1665 by an unknown publisher; Lea added his name and Ogilby's roads in 1689 and changed the title for the second time in 1694; and Willdey added his address c. 1732. Willdey seems to have been a jack-of-all-trades: his address reads "the Great Toy, Spectacle, China Ware, and Print Shop, the corner of Ludgate Street near St Paul's London." Still, this was not the end of the Saxton plates; they were issued again by Thomas Jefferys and Cluer Dicey into the 1770s.

It follows adventurer Anthony Cade, who is tasked with delivering a political memoir and a cache of letters. His journey leads him to Chimneys, an English country estate tied to royal intrigue, blackmail, and murder. A prince’s assassination, a missing jewel, and numerous suspects - including aristocrats, spies, and politicians—make for a gripping mystery. Scotland Yard’s Superintendent Battle investigates, uncovering hidden identities and secret agendas.

This compilation marks an early exploration of Poirot’s methodical and cerebral approach to solving mysteries, highlighting his use of "little grey cells" to unravel complex cases. The stories, including "The Adventure of the Western Star" and "The Tragedy at Marsdon Manor," showcase Poirot's deductive reasoning, often contrasting with the more action-oriented tendencies of his companion, Captain Hastings. Christie's narrative style in this collection emphasises psychological insight, misdirection, and meticulous plot construction, establishing key elements that would define her subsequent works in the detective fiction genre.

A Christmas Carol First Edition

A collection relating to <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/search?query=Dylan%20Thomas&amp;tab=objects&amp;sortBy=bsp_dotcom_prod_en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dylan Thomas</a>' A Child's Christmas in Wales.<ul><li>Sold as a set of 5 items.</li><li>Dylan Thomas (Welsh).</li><li>Includes the following: 1 typed letter, 2 type-scripts of Memories of Christmas, 1 first-edition copy of A Child’s Christmas in Wales, 1 volumes of The Listener, 1 recorded LP.</li></ul> This is a fine collection of items closely linked to Dylan Thomas’s ‘A Child’s Christmas in Wales’. Present is a typed letter, hand signed by Gaston Charpentier. The letter is addressed to Alec Snowden, the British film producer and son of Agnes Adamson Wallace née Crawford and the novelist J. Keighley Snowden; it is also addressed to his wife Renee. The typed section reads of literary matters and scandal, some of which is rather unflattering towards Thomas. The letter also mentions Augustus John, the Welsh painter and etcher. The final typed paragraph averts to more familial matters, speaking of grandchildren and ending with “I will leave Elizabeth to add a few words”, who then hand writes her contributions below. The subject of Elizabeth’s writing is primarily familial and signed “Love to you both. E.” in blue ink. The letter is on a single sheet of white watermarked paper. Present are two typescripts of Memories of Christmas, said to have been dictated by Dylan Thomas to Renee Snowden [nee Harrington]. One is signed ‘Dylan Thomas’ on the final page, presumably by the producer to indicate that this was Thomas’ reading copy, the other unsigned typescript is presumably for the producer himself. This copy shall be referred to as copy 1. Also present is what shall be referred to as copy 2, which is folded and toned throughout. Both transcripts were used during Thomas’ narration on Children’s Hour in 1945 under the title Memories of Christmas. The title was changed to A Child’s Christmas in Wales and was published as such in the USA and in the UK in 1978 with illustrations by Edward Ardizzone, published by Dent – a copy of which, in first edition form, is included in the collection. The story was initially published in The Listener (number 884 – December 20th 1945), which is also included i n the collection. In addition, the original recording on LP is included. The typescripts themselves contain new material, potentially undisclosed to the public. It varies in content to both the recorded and printed versions in the New Directions edition and in Dent’s edition. The primary distinction can be found on the first page, however differences in text occur throughout. The recorded, and printed versions start a new paragraph after “it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six”, however this typescript meets the end of the line with a semicolon, continuing “or whether the ice broke and the skating grocer vanished like a snowman through a white trapdoor on that same Christmas day that the mince[-]pies finished Uncle Arnold [cont.]”. There seems to be a similar difference in a wide selection of pages of a similar nature. It is next seen on page 2. While the printed and recorded versions are different to these scripts, the first two pages of this version appear online. The two typescripts appear identical in typed content.
