Posted by tcook@abctales.com (6 weeks ago ) Dickens's first novel and it shows. The story is that of four companions who go off to 'discover Britain'. They don't get very far but there are some splendid adventures along the way. By far the best character is the wonderful Sam Weller, servant to Mr Pickwick. He has a turn of phrase that still makes you laugh out loud almost 150 years after the book was written. 'Vith vidth comes visdom', he says - and I couldn't agree more!
I wouldn't start on a Dickens journey with this - but it is a treat to read it along the way.
