Book Synopsis

Whether you dip in or read straight through, this selection of his letters creates afresh the brilliance of being Dickens, and the sheer pleasure of being in his company.

Trade Review
In short, the whole book bursts with the author's energy, and you will love him and know him better after reading even a few of these letters. If you don't buy it now, or put it on your Christmas list, it can only be because you already have a copy. * Guardian, Nicholas Lezard *
This is Dickens by Dickens. Do not miss it. * Sunday Times Magazine, John Carey *
