It is a must-read for fans of Dickens and anyone who enjoys a good, uplifting story.Ah! It's pleasant to drop into my own easy-chair my dear though a little palpitating what with trotting up-stairs and what with trotting down, and why kitchen stairs should all be corner stairs is for the builders to justify though I do not think they fully understand their trade and never did, else why the sameness and why not more conveniences and fewer draughts and likewise making a practice of laying the plaster on too thick.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
