Great presentation

It's Christmas Eve and the snow has turned the houses white. Many people are poor, but they're happy, waiting anxiously for the end of the working day so they can go home and celebrate Christmas together. The terrible Scrooge, who only loves money, hates celebrating Christmas. But when he returns to his dark, gloomy house he is visited by three spirits: the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. They instill the spirit of Christmas in his heart and show him that he must change his ways and become a better person.

One of Charles Dickens's most widely loved stories, A Christmas Carol served as the inspiration for Krone and its team of miniaturists to create its latest limited edition pen. The same team of artists previously worked on Krone's "A Space in Time".  The Krone Limited Edition Charles Dickens fountain pen celebrates this man's incredible accomplishments. Surrounded by elegant charcoal celluloid casing, the pen features a magnificent winter scene, hand painted on mother of pearl. Within the sterling silver band is a gold emblem that contains a delicate treasure of Charles Dickens, the tool that allowed him to pursue his dreams as an author - his feather quill. Limited edition of 250 pieces for the new Charles Dickens pen they've created an unmistakably Dickensian image of the night before Christmas. A piston filler, the pen spots a Krone two-tone 18-karat gold nib. Trim is sterling silver, while engravings of stylized snowflakes decorate the two bands. 

Viewing from different orientation

Charles Dickens 

Born in 1812 into a middle-class family oppressed by debt, Charles Dickens was forced to give up school and go to work at the age of 12. This early experience with humiliation and neglect found its way into many of his novels. He was a factory worker, an office boy, and then a reporter. He then began writing satirical pieces, his series The Pickwick Papers (1836-37) bringing him instant success.With his extraordinary linguistic and narrative creativity, Dickens's popularity grew further with his subsequent novels (Oliver Twist, 1837-39; David Copperfield, 1849-50). The books examined the new industrial age, its social problems, and the prejudices of the urban middle class. They are marked by a lively sense of humor and a mixture of the tragic and the comic, the grotesque and the everyday. His later novels took on a more pessimistic tone (Bleak House, 1852-53; Hard Times, 1854), greater psychological depth (Little Dorrit, 1855-57; Great Expectations, 1860-61), and reached the depths of the darkest expressionism in Our Mutual Friend (1864-65), his most complex and desperate novel. Despite his remarkable popularity, Dickens's contemporary critical success was patchy. Today, however, he is regarded as the greatest English novelist of his age and among the greatest anywhere in the world. He invented the social novel, in which he wove the two great threads of the English narrative: the picaresque and the sentimental. He died in1870.
