Most of his novels were doorstops in size. They were often involved tales of murder, deceit, poverty, child abuse, romance and mystery.
Dickens was a master at drawing unusual characters which stick in a reader's mind. He was also a comic genius and a skilled storyteller who wove intricate plots in the loom of his brilliant mind. However, few readers are conversant with Dickens many articles penned during his long literary career.
Dickens began as a parliamentary reporter and continued to write articles on the passing scene throughout his life. In "Selected Journalism ; we peruse a generous selection of articles Dickens authored as editor of the periodicals "Household Words" and "All the Year Round.
Such articles deal with crime in London streets, poor houses, Christmas and memories of the author's childhood school, racing at Epsom and the various locales the Dickens family lived in during summers abroad and in seaside towns in England. The neophyte Dickens reader should start with the novels but these articles are also delightful.
Well recommended for hours of reading pleasure. Has a wide collection of Dickens' writings, including his night walks and adventures with detectives around Victorian London.

This book is a wonderful addition to my collection and can't be faulted.
