The Pickwick Papers

The narrative follows Samuel Pickwick, the founder of The Pickwick Club, as he leads a group of "Pickwickians" on adventurous travels outside London to document their experiences. This collection of loosely connected tales, set in the late 1820s, marked Dickens's rise to international fame and became a publishing sensation. Renowned for his humor and keen social commentary, Dickens created memorable characters that resonate with readers. This new edition includes an introductory chapter from G. K. Chesterton's Appreciations and Criticisms of the Works of Charles Dickens.
