In no other work does Dickens' richness of comic invention display itself so lavishly.  Following the intrepidly bumbling Pickwickians along the highways and byways of old England, he creates a vivid world of highwaymen, duels, lawsuits, jails, hilarious romantic imbroglios - but a world, too, of deeply affecting human warmth and generosity.  Superbly vigorous, filled with a host of indelible character creations, Pickwick Papers has never ceased to enjoy the popularity it won with its initial publication - when it rocketed its author to sudden fame and launched a career without equal in the history of the English novel.
