1943 The Dicken's Digest Book, Hardcover. Measures 9 1/2" by 7". 543 pages. Good condition. Shows age and the dust cover is in rough shape.
Rediscover the genius of Charles Dickens through this authentic 1943 edition of The Dickens Digest. Measuring 9 1/2" by 7", this comprehensive 543-page hardcover was published by Whittlesey House and designed for the "modern reader" to enjoy the essential narratives of four great masterpieces: David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, Pickwick Papers, and Martin Chuzzlewit. The volume is uniquely brought to life by the evocative illustrations of Donald McKay, whose sketches perfectly capture the spirit of Dickens’ famous cast of characters.
This book serves as both a functional reading copy and a charming piece of mid-century library decor. It is an ideal gift for book collectors, English teachers, or fans of 19th-century history. While the book remains in good state internally, the dust jacket is in rough shape and shows significant age, which only adds to its authentic wartime-era provenance. It remains a sturdy and readable tribute to some of the most enduring stories in the English language.
This item is vintage, 83 years old. While I fully evaluate each piece and it appears to be in the good condition stated, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
