The stories are both humorous and thought-provoking, offering a glimpse into the lives of characters from all walks of life. ‘Mudfog and Other Sketches’ is a prime example of Dickens’ ability to combine social commentary with entertainment in a compelling way. Charles Dickens, known for his iconic works such as ‘Oliver Twist’ and ‘Great Expectations’, was a prominent figure in 19th-century literature.
