description: Perhaps no writer in all of literature was better able to populate his world with memorable characters that immediately seemed so very true to life than Charles Dickens. Dickens&apos; magical touch is evident throughout this delightful collection of stories including Horatio Sparkins, The Bloomsbury Christening and Mrs. Lirriper&apos;s Lodgings. Bringing the stories to vivid life are the wonderful illustrations of Edward Ardizzone.
