A winsome, user-friendly introduction to all things Dickens from former
Children's Laureate Michael Rosen, with lively interior illustrations by
Sarah Nayler. Dickens brought life to some of our favourite
characters: his rogues' gallery includes the Artful Dodger and his
avaricious boss, Fagin, the miserly Mr Scrooge, and the spiteful Miss
Havisham. During Dickens's lifetime, his novels sold in their thousands,
and his touring one-man show was an international hit.
Now, 145
years after his death, Dickens's fame has only grown - his books are
read all over the world, and have been adapted for both stage and
screen. So what is it about Dickens's writing that keeps his readers
coming back for more? Join Michael Rosen on a whistle-stop tour of
Dickensian London. Featuring a richly detailed summary of Dickens's
childhood and career, a witty recap of his best-known novels, and lively
black-and-white illustrations from Sarah Nayler, this book is the
perfect introduction to the work and world of Charles Dickens.
