About This Item
1839 Charles Dickens 1st/1st Nicholas Nickleby Novel Social Satire Illustrated
"There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor."
― Charles Dickens
Charles 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. His third work was 'Nicholas Nickleby', a work which follows Nickleby and his young orphan friend Smike and the adventures they get into. The parts of this work were released in short segments weekly in periodicals in London. It first appeared in complete book form in 1839 by Chapman and Hall.
This example is beautifully bound and includes an engraved portrait frontispiece and engravings by Phiz, as well as all first edition points!
