Description: Fronts, illus., ads. Four parts in total, sewn as issued in orig. orange printed wrappers; spines sl. chipped at head & tail, corners a little creased, but overall a nice bright set. Written by Dickens in 1867, Holiday Romance consists of four separate stories, each told through the eyes of a child. This is their first appearance, in the American children's periodical Our Young Folks, the first part appearing in No. 37, January 1868. The intention was for them to be published in consecutive issues, but an explanatory note in No. 38, the issue for February, sheds light on the delay: 'The second part of Mr. Dickens's "Romance", is not inserted because the illustrations could not be finished in time. The "Romance " will be resumed in the March issue'. This was indeed the case, the second part appearing in No. 39, the third in No. 40, and the final instalment in No. 41. They appeared almost simultaneously in the UK in All the Year Round.
