What Would Dickens Do?

Words of comfort and guidance from one of the greatest writers of all time

Should you take your work home with you?

"No; the office is one thing, and private life is another. When I go into the office, I leave the Castle behind me, and when I come into the Castle, I leave the office behind me."  —Mr. Wemmick in Great Expectations 

Bringing together the thoughts of some of Dickens's best-loved and most-maligned characters, as well as his own opinions, this collection answers age-old questions which continue to perplex the finest minds of today: Can destiny be changed?, Is society in decline?, and How should you celebrate your freedom after being stuck in a chimney? If you find yourself facing hard times, trying to deal with other people’s great expectations, or going home every night to a bleak house, look inside for advice from the master.
