The Pickwick Papers

Embark on a rollicking adventure through pre-Victorian England with the unforgettable Samuel Pickwick and his companions. In The Pickwick Papers, Charles Dickens introduces us not only to his literary genius but also to some of fiction‘s most endearing and memorable characters, led by the illustrious and colossal-minded Samuel Pickwick himself. This delightful romp through an England on the brink of the Victorian era is a masterpiece of comic writing. With reform of government, justice, and commercial life imminent, and rail travel, social upheaval, and the decline of deference just around the corner, Pickwick sails through on a tide of delirious adventures. A tide that fortifies us for whatever the future might throw our way. This Macmillan Collector‘s Library edition is beautifully illustrated by H. K. Browne (‘Phiz‘) and includes an insightful afterword by Ned Halley.
