Summary

Four of Charles Dickens’s most enduring and popular works in one volume。
 

Oliver Twist。 Pip。 The ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future。 The characters of Charles Dickens live on in our imaginations long after we’ve read his renowned works of social commentary and vivid storytelling。 Although these novels were written more than a hundred years ago, no home library today would be complete without them。 This Canterbury Classics edition collects some of Dickens’s most famous and beloved works—The Adventures of Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol, A Tale of Two Cities, and Great Expectations—in an elegant, leather-bound, keepsake edition。 For those who’ve never read Dickens, it’s the perfect opportunity to experience his unique and compelling writing。 And for those who are already Dickens devotees, an introduction by a renowned scholar will provide additional context and food for thought。

Good reads but not a favorite set of classics

Melissa

I loved the story of course but was a little hard to follow at times。

I finished Dickens Great Expectations, my first book of 2021。 I enjoyed the story。 I particularly admired the first person point of view (POV) throughout, and how effortless it appears to be。

Dana

I read a Christmas Carol out of this 4 book series。 It was very enjoyable。

A dear friend mentioned A Tale of Two Cities is her boyfriend's favorite book but she was having a hard time getting through it and asked if I'd read it。 I sort of overwhelmed her with my passionate, enthusiastic response that, yes, a couple of times, it's one of my favorites。 After reassuring her that since we're not in school using SparkNotes isn't cheating, we started reading the plot summary there, discussing what she'd read so far and what I remembered。 I downloaded the e-version and dug ou A dear friend mentioned A Tale of Two Cities is her boyfriend's favorite book but she was having a hard time getting through it and asked if I'd read it。 I sort of overwhelmed her with my passionate, enthusiastic response that, yes, a couple of times, it's one of my favorites。 After reassuring her that since we're not in school using SparkNotes isn't cheating, we started reading the plot summary there, discussing what she'd read so far and what I remembered。 I downloaded the e-version and dug out my hardback edition to read at home。 We going to have a Tale of Two Cities book club every Saturday when we work together。 。。。more

It calls the attention to his readers on several social males of the epoch, such as the child labour or the children's utilization to commit crimes。 Dickens jokes of the hypocrisy of his epoch treating these so serious topics with sarcasm and black humor。 It calls the attention to his readers on several social males of the epoch, such as the child labour or the children's utilization to commit crimes。 Dickens jokes of the hypocrisy of his epoch treating these so serious topics with sarcasm and black humor。 。。。more

My copy is actually entitled "Christmas Tales of Fantasy" It includes two ghost stories in novella form。 The Haunted Man is much better and entertaining than The Battle of Life。 Both are classic Dickens--beautiful prosody and descriptive sense of characterization and place。 My copy is actually entitled "Christmas Tales of Fantasy" It includes two ghost stories in novella form。 The Haunted Man is much better and entertaining than The Battle of Life。 Both are classic Dickens--beautiful prosody and descriptive sense of characterization and place。 。。。more

Of course it is a classic。 But I plodded through it。 It was not exciting enough for me, there was never any real page-turning moments for me。 I may just not be a fan of Dickens。 I guess we'll see。 My "expectations" were a bit higher for this book, so I was very let down in the end。。。。。Maybe that was the point?Too slow and boring for my liking。 But well written。 Of course it is a classic。 But I plodded through it。 It was not exciting enough for me, there was never any real page-turning moments for me。 I may just not be a fan of Dickens。 I guess we'll see。 My "expectations" were a bit higher for this book, so I was very let down in the end。。。。。Maybe that was the point?Too slow and boring for my liking。 But well written。 。。。more
