About this book
A shipping merchant who wants a son to carry the firm, and the daughter he refuses to look at. Dickens planned this one out in advance for the first time in his career, and the railway cutting through Camden Town in the early chapters is the first great description of what the railways did to London. Twenty-one plates by painters including William Anderson and Frederick George Cotman follow the river, the docks and the family rooms of the novel, from Limehouse Reach to Blackwall Yard.
