Charles Dickens started his literary career as a journalist reporting for 'The Morning Chronicle,' a profession which encouraged his observing eye. This collection of essays and short stories was first published in that journal and anticipates, and frequently demonstrates, the genius that was to come.
The Sketches 'Illustrative of Everyday Life and Everyday People' are a valuable documentary account of existence in the great metropolis during the early part of the nineteenth century and exhibit to the full the waspish wit, joie de vivre and compassion, for which the author was known.
From the humorous gossip of 'The Curate' to the informative 'Scotland Yard' and on to a campaigning descriptive piece about Newgate Prison, Dickens takes us on a rewarding journey across our capital city, enlivened by the quirks and foibles of its inhabitants.
This is the first of several volumes of Dickens' journalistic writing to be published in audio format by Assembled Stories. We are sure you will enjoy them.
