Our Mutual Friend (Classic Illustrated Edition)

Dickens' last and perhaps his finest novel, Our Mutual Friend is a delightful tale that revolves around the adventures of a kindly dustman and his wife after they unexpectedly inherit a fortune. Numerous intriguing subplots are woven into the story featuring mistaken identity, romance, false accusations, suicide, murder and a blackmail attempt by a one-legged man. Just as accessible and enjoyable for today's modern readers as it would have been when first published just over 150 years ago, the novel is one of the great works of English literature and continues to be widely read throughout the world.This meticulous edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text and is beautifully illustrated with a number of atmospheric historical paintings that reflect the mood of the novel.
