Profusely illustrated with 194 in text illustrations, including 25 decorative initials.

Master Humphrey's Clock was first published as a periodical, written and edited entirely by Dickens, between 4 April 1840 and 4 December 1841. During this period, it was published simultaneously as 88 weekly parts, 20 monthly parts, as separately bound volumes of its two serialised novels, and in this three-volume edition, the first edition of the entire work as bound volumes. Dickens originally intended the periodical to consist of miscellaneous articles, stories, and sketches, but public demand led to it becoming a vehicle for the publication of two novels, The Old Curiosity Shop and Barnaby Rudge, which appear in these volumes in their first published form. An attractive set, presenting two classic Dickens novels in their original serialised format. ~Robust packaging. Size: iv, 306 + vi, 306 + vi, 426pp. Binding tight, text unmarked.
