Description

Charles Dickens Complete 16 Volume Collection plus The Dickens Encyclopedia

The story of Charles Dickens’s life is a truly remarkable rags-to-riches tale. His father’s bankruptcy and imprisonment led to Dickens working in a blacking factory at an early age. These humble beginnings were to become a major influence upon his life and his writings. Dickens became a sensation in his own time and his legacy lives on. His books sold in tens of thousands. Audiences flocked to see him when he performed public readings of his works, inciting “Bozmania.” Venues became sold out, touts sold tickets at inflated prices, and women fainted at his thrilling recitals. He went on to conquer America and commanded great fees for his performances. His legacy is a collection of novels that are probably the most read stories ever.
