This recording is superb! Like all of Dickens these tapes show excelent writing skills!

Walt Disney has superbly adapted his characters to those of the famous Charles Dicken's Christmas story. Great entertainment for young and old, with lots of laughs. This story keeps with the true meaning of Christmas and is a great book for the kids. It shows all about love and sharing, and teaches what Christmas is all about. Disney has been delightful in the choice of characters and settings. A MAGICAL book!

This is a sweet coloring book type of activity book for pre-school and early elementary. It included a Bible themed ABC section to color, as well as numbers, colors, and basic shapes. The last part of the book is filled with easy projects to color and cut out for holidays. Most pages have Bible references too.

Early Dickens has alays been my favorite, and John Bowen's book is an excellent companion to those wildly energetic first novels. The exciting and thought provoking chapter on Oliver Twist alone is worth the price of the book and will send you back to re-read the novel with a greater appreciation of Dickens' genius.

Once upon a time, I had a terrible cold. I dropped by the library and took out a copy of The Old Curiosity Shop, went home, huddled in my bed for four days, and devoured it. It was the best cold I ever had! Upon returning the book I noticed there was a whole collection of Dickens put out by Oxford...lovely hardcovers with illustrations. Years went by and I saved my pennies and finally bought the entire 21 volume collection. It was the best thing I ever did for myself! Certainly worth every cent, I then continued to devour the rest of Dickens. Oxford puts out fine books, but nothing as wonderful as this collection of Charles Dickens works, which ought to reside in everyone's library. Buy it and you will begin to look forward to those colds!!

The Oxford Readers Companion to Charles Dickens serves as an alphabetical tour of the life of the greatest novelist of the Victorian Era. With entries ranging from "A Becket, Gilbert" to "Yates, Frederick" this wonderfully engrossing reference book offers readers information about every aspect of the life, work, and historical environment in which the great man created magic. From analytical entries about every novel to biographical sketches of his friends and foes, this book truly brings Dickens to vivid and enjoyable life. No scholar of the 19th century novel should miss this comprenhensive work.

I found this book at my library and it was very helpful to me in studying A Tale of Two Cities in my Englsih class. It has many articles about the book and eahc one covers a different theme or character in a ot of detail. I showed it to my teacher and she agreed that it is a very valuable book for students and said she will make sure all her students know about the book.

This book is about a man named Mr.Pickwick.Mr.Pickwick is not a rich man but he still goes on in life.What Mr.Pickwick does is he trys to help out his friends.He is a man not a kid like some may think.The book is trying to create a positively good man.He works in a newspaer publishing place with very little pay.This book is about never giving up.

Now that I have seen the movie of "The Stingiest Man in Town", I would like to own this book. It would be great to preform this at school. I reccomend this as well as the movie to all fans of "A Christmas Carol".

If you want to know where the modern realist tradition began, then look no further, it all began with Dickens. He was by far one of the most excellent observers of the life around him. He was of his time, and yet he transcended his times. These three books represent some of his finest creations. A must read for any reader who wants to call themselves well read.
