Summary
The Mysteries of London was a best-selling novel in mid-Victorian England. The first series was published in weekly instalments from 1844-46, priced at a penny each. Serialised novels sold in this way were known as Penny Dreadfuls ... without any claim to literary greatness, they sought to provide ongoing entertainment for the popular audience. This book has it all -- vice, poverty, wealth, virtue, in every combination. Consider it a Victorian soap opera.

If it were not for DAVE WILLS I would not have finished this behemoth of overly long descriptions which often marred the flow of the various intertwined storylines. As for the atrocious and often hideous mispronouncement of so many words by the American readers, I despair of any degree of pre-publishing editing. I note that Dave Wills narrates Part Two . . . Hoorah ! !
