4.0 out of 5 stars
Not so wicked, but an incredible array of characters.,
By
This review is from: The Wicked Wit of Charles Dickens (The Wicked Wit of series) (Hardcover)
A good reintroduction to Dickens in this year, the bi-centenary of his birth - although the title is a misnomer - there is much more to Dickens and this book than 'wicked wit'. Provides a brief background on his fascinating and controversial life as well as many extracts from his books and correspondence. A quick read that whets the appetite to revisit this great author and social reformer. Dickens was the master of producing great character driven tales - and so many of those characters are now embedded in our culture - Scrooge, Fagan, Twist - this little book brings to the fore many of those strange and wonderful character's memorable moments. A refreshing insight into many of Dickens' lesser known characters as well.
