Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Charles Dickens's characters are possibly the most memorable in all of literature -- Tiny Tim, Scrooge, David Copperfield, and Oliver Twist are as recognizable as any real historical personages. Essays include discussion of "A Christmas Carol, Oliver Twist," and others.

"Works by Charles Dickens": p. 186.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 183-185) and index.
