About this ebook
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. Part of a series of stunning gift editions of beloved classics, the Macmillan Collector's Library books are ones to love and treasure.

About the author
Charles Dickens was born in 1812 near Portsmouth, where his father worked as a clerk. Living in London in 1824, Dickens was sent by his family to work in a blacking-warehouse, and his father was arrested and imprisoned for debt. Fortunes improved and Dickens returned to school, eventually becoming a parliamentary reporter. His first piece of fiction was published by a magazine in December 1832, and by 1836 he had begun his first novel, The Pickwick Papers. He focused his career on writing, completing fourteen highly successful novels including Great Expectations, Oliver Twist and Bleak House, as well as penning journalism, shorter fiction and travel books. He died in 1870.
