"If they would rather die," said Scrooge, "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population. Besides—excuse me—I don’t know that."
A reprinting of the 1843 first edition, complete with the original illustrations, is supplemented by over eighty related sketches and annotations on and analyses of the text and historical notes on the writing of "The Christmas Carol."
