Description

Charles Dickens is one of the greats in English literature and many of of us will have read at least one of his books, but others will be put off by the often dark subject matter, the length of some of his books, the complexity and implausibility of his plots and the use of 19th century English. This book addresses those issues in the form of short amusing rhymes, albeit with some modern terminology, slang and colloquialism which, for those who may be unfamiliar with such terms, are explained simply in a glossary within the book. Ten of his most popular books have been converted to rhyme, including his novelette, 'A Christmas Carol'. The stories are told, mainly, in the AABB style of rhyme, of varying lengths, the length depending upon the complexity. The purpose of the book is to acquaint the reader with a basic knowledge of Dickens' books which otherwise might not be available to them, but with a smile.
