Pull out your magnifying glass if you have any hope of reading the original Christmas story in a miniature Bible going on display in the U.K.

The Bible, which dates back to approximately 1911, measures 1.9 by 1.3 inches - so small it can comfortably fit in the palm of your hand.

The tiny Bible made headlines during the COVID lockdowns when it was first discovered and "is thought to be one of the smallest examples of its kind anywhere in the world," according to SWNS.

"Christmas has been such a central part of many memorable stories for generations now, and it's so special to gather these items together and bring back some cherished memories for visitors," Rhian Isaac, senior librarian, told SWNS.

The free exhibition will also show 19th century editions of Charles Dickens stories, including the holiday classic, "A Christmas Carol."

The book is filled with an assortment of riddles and holiday games that claim "to exercise the ingenuity of all sensible masters and misses," SWNS added.

The book even has markings from the children who once owned the book and played the games during Christmases over 200 years ago.
