Sketches by Boz by Charles Dickens
deals with the London the author knew at its best and worst - its streets, theatres, inns, pawnshops, law courts, prisons, omnibuses and the river Thames - in honest and visionary descriptions of everyday life and people.
Walter Bagehot once remarked, Dickens wrote about London "like a special correspondent for posterity"
"The first sprightly runnings of his genius are undoubtedly here," wrote Dickens’s friend and biographer John Forster.
Charles Dickens (1812-70) was a political reporter and journalist whose popularity was established by the phenomenally successful Pickwick Papers (1836-7). His novels captured and held the public imagination over a period of more than thirty years.
