A Christmas Carol - in Toki Pona

This special bilingual edition brings Charles Dickens' timeless classic into the minimalist language Toki Pona - a philosophical tongue built on just 120 words.

The translation captures the moral clarity and gentle humor of A Christmas Carol through radical simplicity. Each chapter presents the story of Scrooge's transformation in clear, meditative phrasing - alongside Sitelen Pona, the hieroglyphic writing system of Toki Pona.

This edition is both a linguistic experiment and a work of art: an encounter between Victorian English and modern minimalism, between the sentiment of Dickens and the philosophy of less is more.

Includes:

  • Complete text of A Christmas Carol translated into Toki Pona
  • Parallel Sitelen Pona script version on each page
  • Illustrations in the style of 19th-century color engravings with Japanese influence
  • A brief introduction to Toki Pona and Sitelen Pona
Ideal for readers of world literature, language enthusiasts, and Toki Pona learners.

Lipu pi tenpo pi mun Seki - A Christmas Carol - teaches kindness and simplicity through minimal words.
