Reviews

Adult/High School-Originally published in 2002 and reissued with a more appealing cover, Smiley's portrait reveals Dickens not through his chronological biography, but through those parts of the author that are reflected in his books. Perfect for readers familiar with Dickens's biography and interested in a close analysis of the intersection between his life and works. (c) Copyright 2012.
