Nicholas Nickleby  |
| Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870) |
An idealistic young man, the title character of Nicholas Nickleby is left to find work and to support and protect his mother and sister after his father's death leaves them penniless. After his cold-hearted Uncle Ralph turns down his pleas for help, Nicholas Nickleby is left to find his own way, opening him up to all manner of queer folk, rogues and scoundrels. Dickens shows himself not only to be a literary genius but a comic one as well. |

| The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit |
| Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870) |
Another classic Dickens satire, this time at the expense of America where he had recently travelled (see Dickens' "American Notes"). This is the story of the Chuzzlewits - plenty of cunning, intrigue, greed and bucket loads of selfishness embellish this brilliant story not to mention a dose or two of moral appreciation. |

| American Notes |
| Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870) |
By the time Dickens set out for America in 1842, he was already a well known author and celebrity. His illuminating book American Notes is his depiction of the New World, a place with both admirable (well run hospitals, prisons, law courts) and despicable (slavery, unsavoury manners) qualities. When first published, his accounts and opinions incited hostile reactions on both sides of the Atlantic. |

| Barnaby Rudge |
| Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870) |
Blackmail, kidnapping, revenge Barnaby Rudge is part suspenseful mystery and part historical novel. Based on the Gordon Riots of June 1780, which culminated in the storming and destruction of the Newgate Prison, we recount these events through the eyes of the kind but simple-minded title character, Barnaby Rudge. Powerful, gripping read. |
