Brief description
Charles Dickens's reading copy of 'The Haunted Man'
Label
Dickens likely prepared this copy in 1858 for his first paid public reading tour but soon realised it wasn't a suitable text and abandoned it. It is made from pages of the original 1848 edition cut out and stuck into a larger book before being highlighted and annotated by Dickens. The Haunted Man was the fifth and final of Dickens's Christmas stories - the first being A Christmas Carol.
