PART 1 (of 3 parts) OF AN UNABRIDGED RECORDING

This is the story of the celebrated Pickwick Club with the good Mr. Samuel Pickwick as its founder and general chairman. The members are to report to the club on their journeys, adventures, and observations of characters and manners. Dickens creates a vivid picture of England in taking his characters along the nostalgic highways and byways of these majestic isles.

This is the remarkable first novel that made Dickens famous, and has remained one of the world's best-known works. With its scores of delightful, improbably named characters, The Pickwick Papers reels with joyous fantasy, infectious good humor, and a touch of the macabre. G.K. Chesterton called it "the great example of everything that made Dickens great…(a) supreme masterpiece."
