1858 1st ed Charles Dickens Christmas Poor Traveller Holly-Tree Inn English Travel

A rare first edition of Charles Dicken’s lesser-known work “The Poor Traveller”. ‘Holly-Tree Inn’ first appeared in 1855 as a Christmas number. It was quite popular, so much so, that it was adapted for stage. It follows the story of a traveler who reminisces of various inns that he has visited, which gives a glimpse into travel styles and inn venues of 19th-century England.

First ‘reading’ edition of this book printing featuring both stories: ‘Boots at the Holly-Tree’ and ‘Mrs. Gump’.
