Items related to Doctor Marigold's Prescriptions (Hesperus Classics)
Named after the man who delivered him as a baby, Doctor Marigold is a poor hawker who, after a dreadful turn of events, finds happiness with his adopted daughter Sophy. She is a deaf mute, and to help her learn to read and communicate, Doctor Marigold 'prescribes' her various stories, which he collects into a book while she is at school. These prescriptions, written by Dickens and five other distinguished Victorian writers, are tales of adventure and romance, featuring thieves, kidnappings and witchcraft. Together, they form a wonderful selection of stories that are told with the clever wit and brilliant description that characterise Dickens' writing.

Review:
'Doctor Marigold s Prescriptions are shown to be far more than amusements or mood-enhancers... They are, as Dickens suggests, remedies for faults of character and are able to reach through time to return love renewed and more complete than ever.' --Gwyneth Lewis
