About the book

Charles Dickens's The Pickwick Papers follows the genial Samuel Pickwick and his companions as they travel through England observing people, customs and comic situations. Their adventures involve misunderstandings, lawsuits, romances and an unforgettable collection of eccentric characters, particularly Pickwick's resourceful servant Sam Weller. Originally published in monthly instalments, the novel established Dickens's reputation and remains one of his warmest and most exuberantly comic works. Energetic and warm-hearted, the novel established Dickens as a major popular writer. Their journeys lead to comic misunderstandings, romances, lawsuits and encounters with a large cast of memorable characters, particularly the quick-witted Sam Weller.
