The Pickwick Papers (Collectors Library Editions)
The Pickwick Papers is Charles Dickens's first novel and his comic
masterpiece. We are introduced not just to one of the greatest writers
in the English language but to some of fiction's most endearing and
memorable characters, starting with the 'illustrious, immortal and
colossal-minded' Samuel Pickwick himself. It is a rollicking tour de
force through an England on the brink of the Victorian era. Reform of
government, justice and commercial life are imminent, as are rail
travel, social convulsion and the death of deference, but Pickwick sails
through on a tide of delirious adventure, fortifying us for the future -
whatever it throws at us.
Illustrated by H K Browne 'Phiz', with an Afterword by Ned Halley.
