Charles Dickens is rightly hailed as the grand master of Victorian literature. His astonishing range extends from tales of political intrigue to poignant coming-of-age sagas, and his superb eye for detail has conjured some of the most memorable characters in English fiction  -  from the cruel Miss Havisham of  Great Expectations  to the treacherous Uriah Heep of David Copperfield . This timeless collection brings together his most iconic novels. David Copperfield Hard Times The power of [Dickens] is so amazing that the reader at once becomes his captive.' William Makepeace Thackeray
