Publishersā€™ Binding Thursday
For this holiday season Publishersā€™ Binding Thursday post, this is Christmas Stories by Charles Dickens, published by Whitman Publishing Company of Racine, WI in 1940. The book features a weirdly unseasonal publishersā€™ binding featuring pink and white illustrations on a cream/yellowish book cloth. Unfortunately our copy is missing the front of its dust jacket, but at least the binding remains largely undamaged.Ā 
Included in the book are three stories by Charles Dickens: ā€œA Christmas Carol,ā€Ā ā€œThe Chimes,ā€ and ā€œThe CricketĀ on the Hearth.ā€ Only ā€œA Christmas Carolā€ is illustrated.Ā The endpapers are truly the star of this book, though, and feature a lovely illustration of the town getting ready for Christmas. The illustrations are by Milwaukee artist and cartoonist Erwin Louis Hess (1906-1999) who had just started working as a comic book artist for Dell Publicaotions at this time.
We hope all your Christmas preparations are going smoothly and that all will have a happy holiday!

This is literally my interpretation of The Batman theme, and I love being correct.

A Covid reading round-up - Part Two!
Following on from my earlier post, I want today to share some thoughts on an author who was a bit of a lifeline during the Covid period ā€“ Charles Dickens! He is, of course, a long-time favourite writer of mine, and while I was in the early stages of the virus and feeling rubbish I was able to at least enjoy a really interesting two part documentary on Sky Arts which explored his time in Italy andā€¦

I know that our inheritance is held in store for us by Time.Ā  I know there is a sea of Time to rise one day, before which all who wrong us or oppress us will be swept away like leaves.Ā  I see it, on the flow!Ā  I know that we must trust and hope, and neither doubt ourselves, nor doubt the good in one another.

December 2023 reading - so how did that go??? šŸ˜¬
At the end of any December, I tend to do one big round up post of the month and the year, together with plans for the new year; however, because of the hand fate dealt us this Christmas (COVID!) Iā€™ve decided to subdivide and do some shorter posts! So hereā€™s the first one, a brief look at what I read in December 2023 ā€“ and brief is the right word, because my reading has gone from the sublime inā€¦
