The Illustrated Thackeray, VOL. VII
——

Here’s an epub of the five Christmas Books which W.M. Thackeray published under the pseudonym Mr. M.A. Titmarsh between 1847 and 1855. I have fully proofed the texts against early, mostly first, editions, corrected hundreds of mistakes and variants, and included Thackeray’s 127 illustrations, many of them in colour. The volume contains:

Mrs. Perkins’s Ball (1847)
“Our Street” (1848)
Doctor Birch and His Young Friends (1849)
The Kickleburys on the Rhine (1850)
The Rose and the Ring (1855)

Four of the five books originally had colour illustrations. I could find three of them, but those for Mrs. Perkins’s Ball weren’t available anywhere, unfortunately. Next up: the The Book of Snobs.
