VIII you let me know which book
in your opinion, is generally called
the best work of Charles Dickens?
M. A. M
1t is matter of taste. Many PEG
pie consider David Copperfield the
best. Dickens himself is said to have
regarded this as his greatest effort.
The story of David and his early
struggles is based partly upon the
authors own 5oyhood. Our Mutual
Friend is also very good. The Tale
of Two Cities is also favorite with
many, but it is not the best example
of the authors work: it is rather
an attempt made by Dickens to vary
his own natural style.
