Front Cover
Chapman & Hall, 1907 - London (England)
The original germ of the idea for these portraits in words, lies with one of Dicken's publishers who required a series of stories to accompany some sporting cartoons in their magazine. A key character in this series is Mr. Winkle, a character who perhaps developed beyond the intended bounds of the stories. In this series of sketches, readers can discern characters and situations in common with Dickens full-blown novels.
