About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 59 full-page plates by James Tissot, Eduard Hau and Alfred Sisley. A body pulled from the Thames, a will that turns on it, and a dust-heap worth a fortune. Dickens's last completed novel, and the one that looks hardest at what money does to the people handling it. He was carrying the manuscript in a train that fell off a viaduct at Staplehurst; he climbed back into the wrecked carriage to fetch it. Fifty-nine plates by painters including Tissot and Frith follow the river, the ferry and the crowded quayside through Victorian London, the element and the city that carry the story.
