If I were asked to say what is at once the most important production of Art and the thing most to be longed for, I should answer, A beautiful house; and if I were further asked to name the production next in importance and the thing next to be longed for, I should answer, A beautiful book.’ - William Morris.
This special Puffin Classics edition of A Christmas Carolhas been inspired by the Victoria and Albert Museum’s collection of the work of Arts and Crafts pioneer William Morris (1834 – 1896). Morris was well known for his wallpaper and fabric designs, and for his mastery of colour. Illustrator Liz Catchpole has selected Morris patterns from the V&A archive and produced a new cover inspired by the collection, bringing Charles Dickens’s treasured, timeless story to life.
The collaboration between Puffin Classics and the V&A is all the more fitting because of the Museum’s support of children’s stories through its National Library – which contains every book published in this collection – and the V&A Museum of Childhood. This beautiful edition of A Christmas Carol is a stunning tribute to William Morris and classic children’s literature.
