Posthumous papers of the Pickwick Club, no. 01

Public

Tells the story of Samuel Pickwick, a good natured elderly gentleman, president of the Pickwick Club. With three other members of the club, Pickwick travels around the English countryside, where he becomes caught up in a series of comic adventures, and romantic and legal misunderstandings. Although light in tone, the novel foreshadows the social concerns that would emerge in Dickens' later work. Issued monthly from April 1836 to November 1837. Chapters 1-2: Chapter 1: The Pickwickians Chapter 2: The first day's journey, and the first evening's adventures; with their consequences
