Since Christmas, I've been searching for 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens. I've visited a humble little bookshop in Horncastle, during the weekend, which is named 'Jabberwock Bookstore.'Â
I managed to buy a unique copy that was published by Dickens House in 1965 and without realising there was a signature and a message inside that says:
'Our short association but a lovely one indeed Lyn.
Cedric Charles Dickens
I will honour Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all the year.'
It was signed by Charles Dickens Great-Grandson, Cedric Charles Dickens for a Lyn Pykett. She is the author of 'Charles Dickens Biography' and a Professor and Vice-Chancellor at Aberystwyth; University of Wales.
If anyone could evaluate the price, please let me know. I originally bought it for £5.
