The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club by Charles Dickens

Few first novels have created as much popular excitement as The Pickwick Papers–-a comic masterpiece that catapulted its 24-year-old author to immediate fame. Readers were captivated by the adventures of the poet Snodgrass, the lover Tupman, the sportsman Winkle &, above all, by that quintessentially English Quixote, Mr Pickwick, & his cockney Sancho Panza, Sam Weller. From the hallowed turf of Dingley Dell Cricket Club to the unholy fracas of the Eatanswill election, via the Fleet debtor’s prison, characters & incidents sprang to life from Dickens’s pen, to form an enduringly popular work of ebullient humour & literary invention. This Thomas Nelson and Sons Hardback is in good condition. Red cloth cover with gilded lettering on spine. Previous owner's name written in pen on page one, dated 1954. Small stamp from previous retailer also on page on. Cover fairly faded, pages spotted at edges.
