Reread “Child’s Christmas in Wales” yesterday. My favorite line: “Auntie Hannah laced her tea with rum because it was only once a year.” I own two copies of “A Christmas Carol”: a facsimile of the first edition that was released sometime in the mid-70s, and the one you showed in the video, illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman. A woman I know used to work at Holiday House, which published the book, and she gave me a copy, signed by the artist, for Christmas the year it was released. A year or two later she gave me a copy of “A Child’s Christmas in Wales,” illustrated by the same artist and also published by Holiday House.
