Ah, sorry HarryT, I just think of all of Dickens' books being Victorian as so many of his stories were. As I'm new here I'm not sure where your proof read versions are? I'd love to read some more.

It always astounds me how certain books get pigeonholed as 'childrens' books. I feel this one has had that tag for a long time. But it's far from a children's story, sure it has children in it, but the true story is about how society treated the poor etc.

And I agree that Dickens wrote a lot of autobiographical stuff. I actually haven't read the most famous one in that regard - does anyone recommend David Copperfield?
