Night Walks

If you would like to read more Dickens, but struggle with his full novels, this is the book for you. It is a short collection of some of his journalistic articles, so you don't need to follow the plot. But in these essays, you are exposed to the full power of Dickens's descriptive magic. He explores Victorian London by night, travels into the depths of slum communities and lead factories, workhouses and dockyards. It is like seeing a window into the Victorian world, and is a great way to familiarize yourself with Dickens's writing style.
