Summary

Comedy, sentiment, and social criticism as Mr. Pickwick rescues Mr. Peepers from debtors' prison. It recounts the rollicking adventures of the members of the Pickwick Club as they travel about England getting into all sorts of mischief. Laugh-out-loud funny and endlessly entertaining, the book also reveals Dickens's burgeoning interest in the parliamentary system, lawyers, the Poor Laws, and the ills of debtors' prisons. -- Publisher's website
