[[Charles Dickens]]' first novel and still one of his best known, it's a far more comedic read than his later stuff, although with strong touches of darkness, especially the Fleet Prison part of the book. |

First published in 1837 (but set in 1827-28, a fact Dickens [[Present Day Past|sometimes forgot in his writing]]), it was originally a 20-part serial. It follows the misadventures of a bunch of comedy clichés as they go about southern England. Along the way, a variety of interesting side-stories are related. |
