Sets out the London of the 1830s before you, streets, people, pleasures, low life, prisons Claire Tomalin Charles Dickens s first published book, Sketches by Boz is a funny and touching collection of observation, fancy and fiction showing the London he knew in all its complexity - its streets, theatres, inns, pawnshops, law courts, prisons and, of course, the river Thames. His descriptions of everyday life and people seem to anticipate characters from his great novels - garrulous matrons, vulgar young clerks, Scrooge-like bachelors - while his powers of social critique shine in his unflinching depictions of the city s forgotten citizens, from child workers to prostitutes. This edition includes the original illustrations by George Cruikshank. Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Dennis Walder
