Description: OUR MUTUAL FRIEND by CHARLES DICKENSIllustrated by F. Barnard. Rare PUCK Edition, circa 1892-1896, Exchange Printing Co. A satiric masterpiece about the allure and peril of money, Our Mutual Friend revolves around the inheritance of a dust-heap where the rich throw their trash. Charles Dickens’s last complete novel, Our Mutual Friend encompasses the great themes of his earlier works: the pretensions of the nouveaux riches, the ingenuousness of the aspiring poor, and the unfailing power of wealth to corrupt all who crave it. With its flavorful cast of characters and numerous subplots, Our Mutual Friend is one of Dickens’s most complex—and satisfying—novels.This first edition is similar to the first edition printed in London but this first edition hardback is blue rather than red making this edition the First Puck Edition.
