About this listen

 This novel was first Serialised under the title The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club between April 1836 and November 1837, when Dickens was in his mid-20s.

Mr Samuel Pickwick is the founder and chairman of the absurd Pickwick Club which consists Tupman, Snodgrass and Winkle who go through various highly amusing and often quite ridiculous adventures.

Charles Dickens (1812 - 9 June 1870) is arguably the greatest novelist England ever produced.

Mr Woolfe is the perfect reader of the early Dickens. By some verbal miracle he makes even Sam Weller's awful jokes entertaining. His pace, characterisation and even the very occasional stumble give humanity to his work. Thank you.

I have previously enjoyed the readings on the radio by Gabriel Woolf, especially those of Jerome K Jerome. Here, however, such a slow pace is adopted, such limited expression, that I did not wish to hear the well-loved story to its end. There may be many who will prefer this slow and deliberate pace. I want a reading with much more vigour and bounce, and with far greater differentiation of voices.
