George Orwell

Christmas Stories (Annotated) George Orwell

Dickens was regarded as the literary colossus of his age. His 1843 novella, A Christmas Carol, remains popular and continues to inspire adaptations in every artistic genre. Oliver Twist and Great Expectations are also frequently adapted, and, like many of his novels, evoke images of early Victorian London. His 1859 novel, A Tale of Two Cities, set in London and Paris, is his best-known work of historical fiction. Dickens has been praised by fellow writers-from Leo Tolstoy to George Orwell, G. K. Chesterton and Tom Wolfe-for his realism, comedy, prose style, unique characterisations, and social criticism. About the Series: "Christmas by Dickens".
