Not to be confused with "Characters from Charles Dickens," this is a card game from circa 1889. There are 37 cards in six sets of six, plus one Dickens card. Each set consists of a book card (Pickwick Papers, Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby, Old Curiosity Shop, Barnaby Rudge, and David Copperfield) and 5 character cards. Players ask each other for needed cards to complete a set, with the Dickens card doubling the value. Milton Bradley also produced a facsimile edition in 1970.
