Dickens: The Funny Bits

by Charles Dickens, introduced by Nick Hornby - £16.99  Bodleian Library (2024)
hardback    ISBN 13: 9781851246434 | ISBN 10: 1851246436

Introduced by bestselling author Nick Hornby, this hilarious anthology of the ‘funniest bits’ from Dickens’ novels is illustrated throughout with humorous line drawings from early editions.
 
A brilliant anthology of the funniest extracts from Dickens’ novels featuring his famous comic characters, including the Artful Dodger, Mr Pickwick, Mr Micawber, Dick Swiveller, Mr Wopsle and the Aged P.
 
Organized by novel, the extracts have been chosen as standalone vignettes or set pieces which can be enjoyed without needing further explanation. They are illustrated with the much-loved line drawings from the early editions, including work by George Cruikshank, Phiz, John Leech and Marcus Stone. Here you will find passages from the great novels Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Bleak House, Great Expectations and A Christmas Carol, as well as the unfinished Mystery of Edwin Drood.
 
Joyous and satirical, this is the ideal gift not only for Dickens enthusiasts but for anyone with an appreciation of the power of humour.
