Reviews
This is a Highly Abridged version of this travelogue, something that was not disclosed in the online description. I tossed it. The point seems to have been to create a modern artistic rendering of some parts of Dickens's journey. In the process, much of Dickens best writing is eliminated. What a fraud to use the original name of an important work of literature and then arbitrarily, or so it seemed, remove the main reason people read the book -- that is, to see what Dickens's impressions were.
