The Children of Dickens, by Samuel McChord Crothers (HC, 1937, $8.50, which is 1/3 the internet price.)- Avail. 2/17
Beautiful book, with 10 wonderful color prints.
Crothers's first chapter, on Dickens himself, notes that though children are mentioned in Dickens' stories, they are "all mixed up with the older people". So if you want to read Dickens' stories to children, you can't. What Crothers has done is to tell the stories of Dickens' children in a form you CAN read to children.
Look for this book in the children's section.
