A review by lilis_land
Night Walks by Charles Dickens

informative sad slow-paced

2.25

An anthology of essays evoking the various sides of London. Dickens is at times loving and fond and at others, critical and dismayed at the city he roams. 

My favourite of the essays is the second, where Dickens recounts the time he was lost in London at the age of 8. This story shows just how imaginative and dramatic he was even as a young boy.

Note that much of the text is of it’s time and depicts views on the lower classes with language common of Dickens and ultimately of 19th century London.
