Editorial Reviews
Review
"To own at one swoop virtually everything written by one of the most prolific geniuses of the 19th-century novel is a reader's fantasy.... The perfect gift for a bookish individual or a whole family of readers."--The Washington Post Book World
"Magnificent."--Newsweek
"Every library should have a set of Dickens, and this inexpensive but well-made illustrated edition...fits the bill."--USA Today

Once upon a time...,
By Viewer (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oxford Illustrated Dickens (21 Volume Set) (Hardcover)
Once upon a time, I had a terrible cold. I dropped by the library and took out a copy of The Old Curiosity Shop, went home, huddled in my bed for four days, and devoured it. It was the best cold I ever had! Upon returning the book I noticed there was a whole collection of Dickens put out by Oxford...lovely hardcovers with illustrations. Years went by and I saved my pennies and finally bought the entire 21 volume collection. It was the best thing I ever did for myself! Certainly worth every cent, I then continued to devour the rest of Dickens. Oxford puts out fine books, but nothing as wonderful as this collection of Charles Dickens works, which ought to reside in everyone's library. Buy it and you will begin to look forward to those colds!!

"What is the use of a book without pictures...?",
By DAVID (British Columbia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oxford Illustrated Dickens (21 Volume Set) (Hardcover)
This collection is great for all those Dickens fans out there who also love illustrations. While the quality of the illustrations is not as good as can be found elsewhere, the set remains a true prize to any nineteenth-century literature-loving reader. Bite the bullet and enjoy!
