Ever since then, from their original - now world-famous - look featuring three bold horizontal stripes, through many different stylish, inventive and iconic cover designs, Penguin''s paperback jackets have been a constantly evolving part of Britain''s culture. And whether they''re for classics, crime, reference or prize-winning novels, they still follow Allen Lane''s original design mantra.Sometimes, you definitely should judge a book by its cover.

After reading Christmas Carol, the notoriously reculsive Thomas Carlyle was "seized with a perfect convulsion of hospitality" and threw not one but two Christmas dinner parties. The impact of the story may not always have been so dramatic but, along with Dickens other Christmas writings, it has had a lasting and significant influence upon our ideas about the Christmas spirit, and about the season as a time for celebration, charity, and memory.
