Description

An intense but very readable illustrated social history of London in the time of Charles Dickens, interwoven with extracts from his writings, alongside many evocative and poignant early photographs of the people and places.

First Sentence

London created Dickens, just as Dickens created London. He came to it as a small nervous child, but by the time of his death in 1870, he had recreated that city for the generations that followed him.
