About this book

Dickens calls these pieces his first attempts at authorship, written and published one at a time when he was very young. Sketches by Boz gathers them, with illustrations by George Cruikshank and Phiz, under the subtitle Illustrative of Every-Day Life and Every-Day People.

The sections include Our Parish, whose first chapter takes in the parish beadle, the parish engine and the schoolmaster, and a group of Tales. Boz was Dickens's early pen name, and the sketches were first collected in 1836.
