Sketches by "Boz," Illustrative of Every-day Life and Every-day People (commonly known as Sketches by Boz) is a collection of short pieces published by Charles Dickens in 1836 accompanied by illustrations by George Cruikshank. The 56 sketches concern London scenes and people and are divided into four sections "Our Parish", "Scenes", "Characters", and "Tales". The material in the first three of these sections is non-fiction[citation needed]. The last section comprises fictional stories. Originally, the sketches were published in various newspapers and periodicals from 1833–1836.
The popularity of Dickens’ writings was enhanced by the regular inclusion of detailed illustrations to highlight key scenes and characters. The stories typically featured two black-and-white illustrations per instalment, plus an illustrated cover design for the wrapper. The images were created with wood engravings or metal etchings. Dickens worked closely with several illustrators during his career, including George Cruikshank, Hablot Knight Browne (aka "Phiz"), and John Leech, although Browne is typically considered to be most strongly identified with Dickens’ stories. The accuracy of the illustrations was of utmost importance to Dickens, as the drawings portrayed the characters just as he envisioned them, and they gave valuable insight to the reader about the characters’ personalities and motives, as well as the plot.
The Mudfog Papers relates the proceedings of the fictional 'The Mudfog Society for the Advancement of Everything', a Pickwickian parody of the British Association for the Advancement of Science[1][2] founded in York in 1831, one of the numerous Victorian learned societies dedicated to the advancement of Science. Like The Pickwick Papers, The Mudfog Papers claim affinity with Parliamentary reports, memoirs, and posthumous papers. The serial was illustrated by George Cruikshank.
The fictional town of Mudfog was based on Chatham in Kent, where Dickens spent part of his youth. Mudfog was described by Dickens as being the town where Oliver Twist was born and spent his early years when the story first appeared in 'Bentley's Miscellany' in February 1837, making it a continuation of The Mudfog Papers, but this allusion was removed when the story was printed in book form.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is the greatest English novelist. We all know and love his novels. However, most readers do not read "Sketches by Boz" which is an early compilation of articles the budding author penned for various newspapers and journals. These sketches were written while Dickens was a parliamentary reporter in his early 20s.Wnence does the name "Boz" derive? As a young lad Dickens gave his younger brother Augustus the nickname "Moses" in honor of a character in Oliver Goldsmith;'s classic novel "The Vicar of Wakefield." Young Augustus could not pronounce "Moses" correctly calling himself "Boz". Dickens decided this would be a good name to apply to himself as he submitted the anonymous humorous sketches he produced in profusion in the 1830s. We sometimes foget that Dickens was already an author prior to the ascension of Queen Victoria in 1837.
The Penguin edition divides the lengthy sketches into four sections:
"Sketches from our Parish:; :Scenes of London"; "Characters" and the best section "Tales" which are humorous short stories.
The book is illustrated by George Cruikshank a good friend of the author and along with Phiz one of Dickens best illustrators.
The various tales are of uneven quality. Do not read this book if you are seeking the complexity of a "Bleak House": "Little Dorrit" or "Our Mutual Friend." Do peruse them if you enjoy succinctly and well observed tales and sketches of what it was like to live in London in the 1830s as the city was becoming a vast metropolis filled with interesting characters. I loved Dickens sketches of what a London street scene was like in the bustle of early morning. His stories of life in the theatre were excellent as was his tour of Newgate prison .
If you have not read Dickens I suggest you begin with "The Pickwick Papers" and this apprentice work. Once you enter the magical, dangerous, hilarious wonderful world of Charles Dickens you will apply for citizenship papers in Mr. Dickens literary universe!

Sketches by Boz Complete and with the original Illustrations edition by Charles Dickens LCI Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Required reading for a college course. The copy I bought had been a smoker's copy and that made it physically hard to read. The writing is strong (duh), but seems to linger and meander from here to there until the plot takes hold and things start happening. A classic and worth having in one's repertoire.
Not indicative of what marvels were to follow.
If you want to know how Dickens got started compiling characters, settings, and establishing points of view (i.e. opinions), this book is revealing. Dickens has a keen eye for London and its inhabitants, and it is displayed in this book. He began writing after all as a magazine journalist. I would not recommend this book unless you are interested in the evolution of the Dickens canon. From these sketches, Dickens moves on to fiction (and there's some fiction in these as well), where he combines critical observations, already established, with fictive plots.
Very early Dickens;not as much character development or actual story elements as a reader of Dickens would expect.
Dickens is the master observer of humankind. His descriptions of people and their surroundings are a model of satisfying language. He senses deep psychological quirks, attitudes and foibles of the entire human spectrum and creates rich portraits. If you'd like to improve your syntax or your vocabulary or, (especially) your powers of observation and social commentary, Dickens is your man.
I was really looking forward to the Cruikshank illustrations for this delightful compendium of Dickens' London sketches, but I have yet to find one. I've skipped through the book, searching, with no luck so far. Perhaps when I go through it word by word I'll find one--hope so, since I paid for this version vs. a free one just for the illustrations (and the promised proper formatting, sans typos).
So how did Charles Dickens start out? Well he called himself Boz. This is how he started out.
What is striking is the visual painting of simple things witnessed. Standing in a certain place at a certain time, you can almost feel the humidity and smell the alley ways. Even so young, the key to Dickens isn't just writing skill but observation of minute details that color everything.
The edition is nicely printed and illustrated.
