A MATCH FOR DICKENS
Long admired for his illustrations of lower and middle-class living conditions, Frank Reynolds quickly established himself as illustrator of Charles Dickens' novels. Originally published in 1911, Reynolds brought subtle humor to David Copperfield's traverse from impoverished childhood to budding commercial success as a novelist. This 1983 reissue features Reynolds' deeply expressive characters in twenty-one tipped-in color illustrations.
