Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens: The Greatest Novels : Great Expectations, David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol | Charles Dickens
17 posts | 2 to read
CLASSIC FICTION. David Copperfield was Dickens' 'favourite child' and is a novel of personal development with richly comic as well as deeply poignant moments. "Great Expectations" also traces the progress of a young man through life but, as a novel of the author's maturity, is expressed in subtler shades of nuance. "Oliver Twist" is more black-and-white than either, highlighting the incorruptibility of young Oliver as he battles with the evil of Fagin and Bill Sikes. "A Christmas Carol" is both a ghost story and a moral tale, which defined the pattern of Christmas celebrations. The four books in one volume represent much of Dickens' finest writing.

#MagnificentMarch Day 6: This massive, gilt-edged, hardcover #GreenCover Dickens tome of a book caught my eye while at the Sharjah Book Fair last week. Of course I had to get it - at around 3.50 usd, I can‘t NOT buy it.

Happy March, my lovely booksters. #charlesdickens #march #marchreads

tpixie Lovely quote!! Last night we got about 2 to 3 inches of snow, but the sun is shining bright and gorgeous!( but it‘s 8 degF 😂). Welcome 🥳📚🥳 6y
kaleidoscope.reader @tpixie I'm in Texas so it's 77 degrees and the sun is high. 🌞 I do miss the snow some days. Which is why I LOVE this quote. I'm an Army wife so moving is essential to my life. The snow in MO was amazing. I hope you have a cozy day by the fire with a good book. Enjoy the cold and snow for me. 💜 6y
tpixie @NightSparrowReads yes seasons are fun!! We‘re watching the 1st A Star Is Born ( 1937! ). There are 4 of them! We‘re going to have a big movie/ puzzle 🧩 day! 6y
