Tall 8vo, 1840-41, 3 vols. b & w illustrations by George Cattermole and Hablot Browne(Phiz), some minor scattered spotting but really excellent inside, pages supple and quite fresh, contemporary half calf gilt, a little rubbed but really a handsome set. Collection of short stories tied by the fact that they were told during the sessions of Mr. Humphrey's Clock Club. As compared to some other Dickens works these tales are less outrageous and more humanistic, full of nostalgia and good humour. As a point of interest, Dickens wrote rapidly, sometimes working on more than one novel at a time, and usually finished an instalment just when it was due. E-mail for more pictures.
