What Would Dickens Do?

To celebrate the two-hundredth anniversary of Charles Dickens' birth in 1812, What Would Dickens Do? brings together the thoughts of some of his best-loved and most-maligned characters, as well as his own opinions, and answers age-old questions which continue to perplex the finest minds of today: 'Can destiny be changed?', 'Is society in decline?', and 'How should you celebrate your freedom after being stuck in a chimney?' If you find yourself facing hard times, trying to deal with other people's great expectations, or going home every night to a bleak house, look inside for words of comfort and guidance from one of the greatest writers of all time.
