Ugh, Mr. Turveydrop. 🙄
These names though are always entertaining.

And even more characters! Jo and Jenny are just heartbreaking. Sentimental but in a good way.

Dickens makes such astute observations and with such eloquence. In awe sometimes. It’s also very amenable to audio with Miriam Margolyes.

So many characters!

“Dogs, undistinguishable in mire. Horses, scarcely better, splashed to their very blinkers.” p1


“…who, in hooking one, hook all and bear them off, as Lemuel Gulliver bore away the stately fleet of the majestic Lilliput.” p12

“Nothing could be more precise, exact, and orderly than Greenleaf.” p25
