Few first novels have created as much popular excitement as **The Pickwick
Papers** –-a comic masterpiece that catapulted its 24-year-old author to
immediate fame. Readers were captivated by the adventures of the poet
Snodgrass, the lover Tupman, the sportsman Winkle &, above all, by that
quintessentially English Quixote, Mr Pickwick, & his cockney Sancho Panza, Sam
Weller. From the hallowed turf of Dingley Dell Cricket Club to the unholy
fracas of the Eatanswill election, via the Fleet debtor’s prison, characters &
incidents sprang to life from Dickens’s pen, to form an enduringly popular
work of ebullient humour & literary invention.
