Description
A brilliant anthology of the funniest extracts from Dickens' novels featuring his famous comic characters, including the Artful Dodger, Mr Pickwick, Mr Micawber, Dick Swiveller, Mr Wopsle and the Aged P.
Organised by novel, the extracts have been chosen as standalone vignettes or set pieces which can be enjoyed without needing further explanation. They are illustrated with the much-loved line drawings from the early editions, including work by George Cruikshank, Phiz, John Leech and Marcus Stone. Here you will find passages from the great novels Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Bleak House, Great Expectations and A Christmas Carol, as well as the unfinished Mystery of Edwin Drood.
Joyous and satirical, this is the ideal gift not only for Dickens enthusiasts but for anyone with an appreciation of the power of humour.
