About this book

A hot dinner delivered to a messenger on a cold day opens this selection of Charles Dickens's stories about children. Toby Veck and his daughter Meg make warmth and affection out of very little money, setting a tone in which hardship and family kindness sit close together. Editor Jesse Lyman Hurlbut draws child-centered episodes out of longer works and presents them as separate stories for young readers.

The contents bring together Tiny Tim, Little Nell, Little Dorrit, Jenny Wren, Oliver Twist and David Copperfield, among others. In David's schooldays, Steerforth asks him to retell remembered books at night, while Traddles supplies comic reactions from the bedroom audience. That scene catches the pleasure of storytelling alongside the pressures of school life.
