Dickens first wrote this intriguing novel to appear as weekly parts in the Victorian magazine All the Year Round from December 1860 until August 1861. It was first published as a book in three volumes that same year, and then as a single-volume edition in November 1862.

The striking color artwork captures the ambiance of Victorian life and makes the story more accessible than ever.
