About The Book
Charles Dickens is one of the world’s greatest and best loved writers. To read Great Expectations, A Christmas Carol, or Nicholas Nickleby is to be drawn into a society that still seems fresh and real today: nineteenth-century London with its extraordinary extremes of wealth, progress, poverty, and despair. Dickens captures it all in plots that are by turns wildly comical, wonderfully melodramatic, and tragic to the point of tears. In his writing and later, in his dramatic readings, Charles Dickens was a master showman, mesmerizing the whole world.
His novels are stuffed to bursting with unforgettable characters like Mr. Micawber, Ebineezer Scrooge, and Little Nell. Most affecting are his portraits of children abused and abandoned by the Industrial Age. David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, and Tiny Tim are mirrors that reflect the twisted values of their time.
The twists of Dickens’s own life encompassed childhood suffering as well as international acclaim. When he was twelve, his father was consigned to debtors’ prison and Charles to working in a blacking factory. Not twelve years later The Pickwick Papers would propel him toward literary stardom.
In their lovingly researched, incisively written biography, illustrated with a lushness and attention to period detail of which Dickens would have approved, Diane Stanley and Peter Vennema illuminate his inspirations, his impact on nations of readers, and his gleaming genius that has only brightened with time.
A handsome book on the beloved novelist. Dickens’s troubled, well-documented life has plenty to interest children….Lucid, accessible….A lively, entertaining story for children who enjoy A Christmas Carol in its various guises….A must.
