| Publisher Description: 1890. With illustrations. Dickens, English novelist, is considered by many to be the greatest of his country. His works were known to indict society's mistreatment and abuse of the poor, especially children. Dickens died before completing this novel, which on one hand is frustrating, but on the other it has afforded literary critics and mystery lovers the opportunity to solve the puzzle for themselves. No one will ever know who Dickens really had in mind as the murderer, or if indeed there was a murder at all, but In true Dickensian form The Mystery of Edwin Drood gives the reader lots of memorable characters, from the suspicious and tormented Jasper to the Reverend Crisparkle to Princess Puffer, the enigmatic Datchery and finally the gravedigger and his obnoxious but perceptive boy assistant.
