Sayings of Charles Dickens

The sayings of the most famous Victorian novelist collected in a stunning new package. 'It is a melancholy truth that even great men have poor relations' 'Papa, potatoes, poultry, prunes, and prism, are all very good words for the lips; especially prunes and prism' 'Troubles are exceedingly gregarious in their nature, and flying in flocks, are apt to perch capriciously' Charles Dickens is undoubtedly the best known, most widely read and most frequently dramatised Victorian novelist. Despite his great talent for humorous writing, he was far more than just a comic writer. He had serious things to say about many aspects of nineteenth century-century England - on the law, poverty, education, crime and punishment. The Sayings presents a complete picture of Dickens as both a richly imaginative novelist and acute commentator on society.
