Even if you are not a devotee of eBooks this is one volume that just may convert you.  This is a concise, always available on your Kindle of all that Dickens wrote arranged into Novels, The Christmas Books, Short Story Collections, Short Stories, Christmas Short Stories, Collaborative Works and Non-fiction, Poetry and Plays. Each of these well-considered sections is arranged as to date of publication.  (Actually the surprise included by Doma Publishing House is the inclusion o Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Lucy Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables.  THAT is one generous inexpensive volume!It may come as a surprise to many that Dickens was even more prolific than we knew.  15 Novels (ending with The Mystery of Edwin Drood so popular among theater goers right now), 5 Christmas Books, 11 Christmas short stories, some strange collaborative works and the works `Sunday Under Three Heads, American Notes: For General Circulation, Pictures from Italy, and A Child's History of England.The book starts with a fine Introduction to Charles Dickens and then jumps right into The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club. From there we can sail through the entire output - and the real joy is that we have the choice of reading a novel, then a short story, then a Christmas story  - wherever the need exists.This is about the finest addition to the library as possible and thanks to Doma Publishing it is all on eBook - ready and waiting, invitingly.
