This is my copy of #SketchesbyBoz from the 1910 Educational Book Company Charles Dickens Library that I‘m collecting because I love the illustrations by Harry Furniss. It‘s also my ‘S‘ for the #LitsyClassics Challenge so I‘ll finally be taking it off my TBR. #DickensianDecember @jenniferw88 @Sarah83
Not a Christmas quote but I think it says a lot about the holidays - from a darker side of things. I‘m feeling a little dark these days so that‘s probably why it speaks to me. #sketchesbyboz #DickensianDecember

Not the obvious Christmas quote, but Dickens can really write a first sentence! #sketchesbyboz #dickensiandecember @jenniferw88
"But the streets of London, to beheld in the very height of their glory, should be seen on a dark, dull, murky winter's night...when the heavy lazy mist, which hangs over every object, makes the gas lamps look brighter, and the brilliantly lighted shops more splendid, from the contrast they present to the darkness around."
"The appearance presented by the streets of London an hour before sunrise, on a summer's morning, is the most striking..."
Very exciting #bookmail today! Found 7/18 volumes of the 1910 Educational Book Co Dickens Library on EBay for a grand total of $22 (incl. shipping)! This collection was specially illustrated by Harry Furniss who I've discovered from my Annotated Dickens is my absolute favorite!! Can't wait to peruse these. And they smell great!😂❤️📚
