PICKWICK PAPERS (COLLECTORS LIBRARY) (HB)

A Collectors Library edition of Dickens' rollicking tour de force through an England on the brink of the Victorian era. Reform of government, justice and commercial life are imminent, as are rail travel, social convulsion and the death of deference. The 'illustrious, immortal and colossal-minded' Samuel Pickwick sails through on a tide of delirious adventure, fortifying us for the future - whatever it might throw at us. This edition is illustrated by H. K. Browne ('Phiz'), with an afterword by Ned Halley.
