The surge and passion of the French Revolution —although it was long since over when he published A TALE OF TWO CITIES in 1859—excited the imagination of Charles Dickens.

The book is shorter, packed more tightly together. than most of Dickens' novels, and somewhat apologetically he admitted he had not managed to write into it any Of the humorous scenes his readers might expect of him. But it is a colorful and highly dramatic story. perhaps the best book he ever wrote and it has become a definite favorite with young readers.
