Useful Guide,

This review is from: Charles Dickens A to Z: The Essential Reference to His Life and Work (The Literary A to Z Series) (Paperback)
Charles Dickens A to Z by Paul Davis is a competent, handy guide covering all aspects of the life and writing of the eminent author. For every major work Davis provides a commentary and thorough chapter-by-chapter synopsis. Individual entries for each character contain a desciption and overview of actions. Includes details of Dickens's family, friends and contemporaries. Nice selection of illustrations.
I often consult this guide while reading Dickens. This is a good choice for beginners or casual Dickensians.
