About this audiobook
The Charles Dickens 200th Anniversary Collection comprises short works, fiction, essays, poetry, letters, magazine articles and speeches. Here is a wonderful potpourri of all genres and periods of his writing. This first volume was released on Dickens' 200th birthday, February 7th 2012.
This precious audio work includes short stories including, amongst others, The Holly Tree, the first part of Holiday Romance and three pieces from Mugby Junction. Some items requiring a little further explanation are Prince Bull, written as a fairy tale, but in reality a scathing attack on the Government's handling of supplies to the troops in the Crimean War; Old Lamps for New Ones in which Dickens makes clear his low opinion of the ethos of the Pre-Raphaelite school of painting; and Frauds on the Fairies, a polemic against George Cruikshank's bowdlerization of fairy tales for moralistic purposes, and the interesting revelation that 'product placement' is by no means a new phenomenon.
With narration by Emmy Award-nominated actor Geoffrey Giuliano.
Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens was born in 1812 and grew up in poverty. This experience influenced ‘Oliver Twist’, the second of his fourteen major novels, which first appeared in 1837. When he died in 1870, he was buried in Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey as an indication of his huge popularity as a novelist, which endures to this day.
