Description: 8vo - 8" - 9" Tall 1st printing. Full cloth binding with color paper pastedown on front. Light all-over shelf scuffing. Gift note inked on half title page. Color endpapers. 208pp. Color plates. Pen and ink illustrations.
I just finished the last book for 2019.. and it was a beauty!
I found this book at a thrift shop a few years ago. I never read it before. I bought it for it's cover and the artwork within the book... and probably the fact that at that time I was reading some books of Dickens and Wilke Collins.
I am so glad I put this book away and kept it! I love everything about his book! I already mentioned the artwork. The pages were so thick and rough I had to keep looking at the page numbers because they felt like 2 pages stuck together. The book was published in 1935. Every so many pages you could see the threads that sewed this book together! The pages were all turning brown but I still loved this book. (and will keep it in the special group of "keepers").
It is 8 short versions of 8 of Dickens books, read as if they were each the entire book instead of a short story of the book. Simply put...this was a most delightful book to read! Even if you aren't a reader of Dickens.. this gives a great example of his writings and lets you find out if you might actually want to read one of his entire books!
I give it a grade A !!
