Description

Charles Dickens's simple retelling of the life of Jesus Christ, written for his own children during 1846-1849. In this charming adaptation from the Gospel of St. Luke, Dickens aimed to teach young minds about faith and religion. The manuscript was kept as a family secret for eighty-five years before being published in London. The book's history is closely tied to that of its author. Written while Dickens was completing David Copperfield, it remained unpublished until after his death in 1870. It then passed through several relatives before being bequeathed to Sir Henry Fielding Dickens, who left instructions for its publication only after his own passing. The manuscript was finally published in the United States by Simon & Schuster in 1934. This unique and lesser-known work offers a fresh perspective on one of history's most significant figures.
