Doctor Marigold is a novella written by Charles Dickens. It tells the story of a traveling salesman named Doctor Marigold, who sells cheap goods from a cart and entertains crowds with his humorous and witty speeches. Despite his humble profession, Doctor Marigold is a kind and compassionate man who cares deeply for his adopted daughter, Sophy. He narrates the story of his life, including his childhood as an orphan, his marriage to Sophy's mother, and the tragic events that led to her death. Along the way, Doctor Marigold encounters a variety of colorful characters, from a cruel circus owner to a kind-hearted doctor, and learns valuable lessons about love, loss, and the importance of human connection. The novella is notable for its vivid descriptions of Victorian-era England and its themes of social inequality and the power of love to overcome adversity.I am a Cheap Jack, and my own father's name was Willum Marigold. It was in his lifetime supposed by some that his name was William, but my own father always consistently said, No, it was Willum. On which point I content myself with looking at the argument this way: If a man is not allowed to know his own name in a free country, how much is he allowed to know in a land of slavery?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
