Quote from the back cover:
"The characters which Charles Dickens has created are living, moving personalities in the minds and imaginations of the large majority of English men and women. To portray these characters in a manner which shall satisfy the aspirations of the countless multitudes of the author's admirers is a success of which any artist may feel justly proud."
