Produktbeschreibung

Three tales that showcase the nineteenth-century novelist's famous flair for suspense and plot twists. This volume includes three titles by Victorian England's greatest storyteller. Hunted Down: The manager of a life assurance office finds his suspicions growing after becoming acquainted with a mysterious gentleman in this rare detective story by Charles Dickens. The Mystery of Edwin Drood: In this unfinished puzzler-the basis for the Broadway musical that won five Tony Awards-a young man disappears and it may be connected to the beautiful woman he was planning to marry. The Old Curiosity Shop: Little Nell's grandfather is determined to give her a better life, but his attempts lead to trouble, in this beloved classic. "When it comes to walking the mean streets, Dickens could give modern genre authors the tour of their lives." -Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times

Autorenporträt

An international celebrity during his lifetime, Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is widely regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His classic works include A Christmas Carol, Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Great Expectations, and A Tale of Two Cities, one of the bestselling novels of all time. When Dickens was twelve years old, his father was sent to debtors' prison, and the boy was forced to work in a boot-blacking factory to support his family. The experience greatly shaped both his fiction and his tireless advocacy for children's rights and social reform.
