Part Of Penguin's Beautiful Hardback Clothbound Classics Series, Designed By The Award-winning Coralie Bickford-smith, These Delectable And Collectible Editions Are Bound In High-quality Colourful, Tactile Cloth With Foil Stamped Into The Design. As The Interminable Case Of Jarndyce And Jarndyce Grinds Its Way Through The Court Of Chancery, It Draws Together A Disparate Group Of People: Ada And Richard Clare, Whose Inheritance Is Gradually Being Devoured By Legal Costs; Esther Summerson, A Ward Of Court, Whose Parentage Is A Source Of Deepening Mystery; The Menacing Lawyer Tulkinghorn; The Determined Sleuth Inspector Bucket; And Even Jo, The Destitute Little Crossing-sweeper. A Savage, But Often Comic, Indictment Of A Society That Is Rotten To The Core, Bleak House Is One Of Dickens's Most Ambitious Novels, With A Range That Extends From The Drawing Rooms Of The Aristocracy To The Poorest Of London Slums.
