Dickens' England was an extraordinary world that seems far removed from our everyday society. The characters with which we are so familiar - Oliver, Pip, Scrooge and Mr Micawber were all based on Charles Dickens' own experiences. This book takes us deep within that underworld where the poor fight to survive and also elevates us to the world where the rich dominate and struggle with each other for power. R.E. Pritchard guides the reader through a journey of the different classes, rich and poor, men and women, faith and doubt, entertainment and education, life in the country and in the town. This is the perfect book for anyone wanting to understand more about the world which Dickens and his characters inhabited.
