Item highlights

  • Made to order

Seller's description

Cute chibi watercolor-style illustration of Charles Dickens with curly brown hair, a full beard, a bow tie, a patterned waistcoat with a watch chain and a green frock coat, with a quill and a stack of books: "Paid by the chapter. Very long chapters."
Great for librarians, book clubs, English teachers, writers, editors and readers who love a thick classic. A playful gift for the friend whose "quick summary" of a book takes twenty minutes.

Most of Charles Dickens's novels (he lived 1812-1870) first came out in monthly serial installments, so readers waited weeks for each new part and his stories grew long, twisty and full of characters. This chibi novelist has his quill in one hand and a stack of books and fresh pages in the other. The watercolor-style illustration has warm browns and deep green inside a white die-cut sticker border. A warm, lighthearted shirt for readers who never skip a chapter.
