	DICKENS, CHARLES; FORD, MARK (EDITED BY), AND MCGRATH, DOUGLAS (INTRODUCTION BY) Nicholas Nickleby Harmondsworth, Penguin Books. 2002, First edition thus. (ISBN: 0142002755) Trade Paperback , 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Ill.: Browne, Hablot K. ("Phiz"). Movie Tie-in, xvi, 799 pp. illus. bib. notes; 20 cm. First published, 1839. Firm binding, with one spine crease. Clean inside copy. "The work of a young man at the height of his powers, Nicholas Nickleby is one of the touchstones of the English comic novel. Around the central story of Nicholas Nickleby and the misfortunes of his family, Dickens created some of his most wonderful characters: the muddle-headed Mrs Nickleby, the gloriously theatrical Crummles, their protégée Miss Petowker, the pretentious Mantalinis and the mindlessly cruel Squeers and his wife. Nicholas Nickleby's loose, haphazard progress harks back to the picturesque novels of the eighteenth century - particularly those of Smollett and Fielding. Yet the novel's exuberant atmosphere of romance, adventure and freedom is overshadowed by Dickens's awareness of social ills and financial and class insecurity. But, as Mark Ford writes in his Introduction to the 1999 Penguin Classics edition, it is precisely these anxieties which 'Nicholas Nickleby so often succeeds in transfiguring.. into the wildest, most exhilarating forms of comedy.'" - Publisher.

"The most popular pirate story ever written in English, featuring one of literature's most beloved 'bad guys,' Treasure Island has been happily devoured by several generations of boys--and girls--and grownups. Its unforgettable characters include: young Jim Hawkins, who finds himself owner of a map to Treasure Island, where the fabled pirate booty is buried; honest Captain Smollett, heroic Dr. Livesey, and the good-hearted but obtuse Squire Trelawney, who help Jim on his quest for the treasure; the frightening Blind Pew, double-dealing Israel Hands, and seemingly mad Ben Gunn, buccaneers of varying shades of menace; and, of course, garrulous, affable, ambiguous Long John Silver, who is one moment a friendly, laughing, one-legged sea-cook..and the next a dangerous pirate leader! The unexpected and complex relationship that develops between Silver and Jim helps transform what seems at first to be a simple, rip-roaring adventure story into a deeply moving study of a boy's growth into manhood, as he learns hard lessons about friendship, loyalty, courage and honor--and the uncertain meaning of good and evil. / Angus Fletcher is Distinguished Professor Emeritus, City University of New York, and is the author of Allegory: The Theory of a Symbolic Mode, Colors of the Mind, and A New Theory for American Poetry, among other books." - Publisher.
