I like Dickens but yawned through Pickwick at school
Try his "The Uncommercial Traveller" true story.
I collect books and have just bought -from one of the antiquarian bookshops in Warwick--(the one at the bottom of the hill) 'A Child's History of England.
by Charles Dickens- never heard of it before. A beautiful little Victorian book starting 50 years before Christ and ending in 1837.
Quite a find.
Shut me up Ican go on forever
