Coffee with Dickens (Coffee with...Series)
Charles Dickens was the 19th-century equivalent of a pop superstar and an undisputed genius whose novels have remained enduringly popular. This quiet talk with his ghost (which takes place at the inn so beloved by Mr. Pickwick) conveys all his vigor, warmth, and humanity—and provides a scintillating tour through his life, career, eccentricities, and trenchant opinions. Sit back and listen to this master conversationalist talk about everything from work in a boot-polish factory to his immensely popular lecture tours in America.

Sketches of Young Gentlemen and Young Couples: with Sketches of Young Ladies by Edward Caswall
by Charles Dickens, Paul Schlicke
Praised by acclaimed biographer Claire Tomalin as "young Dickens at his most playful," this delightful volume showcases two collections of little-known sketches by Dickens, charmingly illustrated by Phiz. Whimsical, satirical, witty and exuberant, the sketches ridicule the behavior of their subjects with perfect comic effect, offering fascinating evidence of a writer learning his craft and refining his style. In his Introduction, Dickens scholar Paul Schlicke discusses the popularity of the sketch mode, and the special qualities of these examples. This unique edition includes Edward Caswall's Sketches of Young Ladies, whose success prompted Dickens to write his own sketches.
