Charles Dickens is probably the greatest novelist England ever produced. His innate comic genius and shrewd depictions of Victorian life -- along with his memorable characters -- have made him beloved by readers the world over. In Dickens' books live some of the most repugnant villains in literature, as well as some of the most likeable (and unlikely) heroes.
This first work was followed by the popular Oliver Twist (1838). Most of Dickens' characters are memorable and Samuel Pickwick, Mr. Snodgrass, Mr. Tupman and Mr. Winkle are no exception. This series of stories provides us with a detailed look at Victorian England
