Charles Dickens

The Pickwick Papers, or The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, is Charles Dickens' first novel, published in 1837.

It follows the travels of Samuel Pickwick, a kind and wealthy gentleman, and his three companions: Mr. Tupman, Mr. Winkle, and Mr. Snodgrass.

Along with Pickwick’s servant Sam Weller, they get into numerous scrapes and misadventures.
