Robert Powell and Elizabeth Garvie
A celebration of the extraordinary and unique world of Charles Dickens, one of the best-loved authors of all time. Robert Powell and Elizabeth Garvie bring to life Charles Dickens' universally loved characters, from Mr. Pickwick, Mr. Micawber and Mrs. Nickleby, to Mrs. Gamp, Uriah Heep and Scrooge. Through the writings and letters of the author himself, together with those of his friends and contemporaries, they trace his fascinating life, illuminated by some of the funniest scenes in all literature as well as some of the most moving, embracing the romantic and the grotesque, the satirical and the macabre. Discover Dickens the celebrity, the social reformer, the actor, the entrepreneur, and, above all, Dickens the supreme entertainer.
