- Summary:
- More than 175 years since Charles Dickens won over readers with his irrepressible Pickwick Papers, he still endures as one of the world's most beloved and influential novelists. We need only think of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge exclaiming, "Bah, humbug!" or the poor, orphaned Oliver Twist imploring, "Please, sir, I want some more" to realize how deeply his characters and sensibilities have infiltrated and shaped our own minds.
