Few authors are more synonymous with the holiday season than Charles Dickens, whose classic tale A Christmas Carol was written in 1843. The Huntington’s literary collections include about a thousand letters by Dickens, and in early 2010 a group of 35 additional letters, most of them unpublished, was acquired. In honor of the season, several of these manuscripts will be on display through the month of December. Look for them in the east foyer of the Library Exhibition Hall.
