About this audiobook

Mr Samuel Pickwick, retired businessman and confirmed bachelor, is determined that, after a quiet life of enterprise, the time has come to go out into the world. Founder of the Pickwick Club, he and his fellow Pickwickians elect to form a Corresponding Society and report back about their journeys and exploits on a regular basis. Thus begins the chronicle of their hilariously comic adventures.
