OUR MUTUAL FRIEND

In his last completed novel, published in 18645, Dickens confirmed his reputation as a story-teller of genius while extending the s phere of his imagination to new worlds. Our Mutual Friend weaves together many narratives, uniting them in the bizarre symbolism of the wealth which derives from a rubbish tip, and illuminating them by the strange light of Victorian London revealed as though in a dream. This edition reprints the original Everyman introduction by G. K. Chesterton and includes forty illustrations by Marcus Stone .
