Dickens worked a very serious subject into comedic Pickwick Papers, that of the injustice of the justice system.

I have confirmed ( to myself), why this tale is, and shall forever remain, a classic Christmas story for as long as Christmasses are remembered, in this world, anyway.

Either way, I enjoyed all the extra notes and background not to mention the original engraved illustrations!
