Publisher description
Phiz is the first biography of Charles Dickens' most famous illustrator; filled with irresistible drawings, it also provides a vivid portrait of the Victorian age.
Hablot Knight Brown-known as "Phiz"-was the greatest illustrator of Charles Dickens' fiction. In a collaboration that lasted for a quarter of a century, Phiz's drawings brought to life a galaxy of immortal characters. Fittingly, Phiz himself-from the mystery of his birth onwards-led a life as rich as any novel. In this lively memoir, Phiz' great-great-granddaughter traces his path to fame in a tale bustling with color and adventure. Based on a wealth of unpublished material and brimming with Phiz's delicious illustrations, this is the perfect book for all who love Dickens and the hidden byways of Victorian life. Journalist Valerie Browne Lester was educated at Harvard and is a former lecturer at George Washington University. She lives in Maryland
