| PICKWICK PAPERS: In 1836 young Charles Dickens was commissioned to write a series of humorous stories about the misadventures of the members of a fictional English social club. Dickens called this organization the PICKWICK CLUB named after his central character one Samuel Pickwick. He and his friends set out on a cross-country journey and through a series of innocent misunderstandings they wind up entangled in a comedy of errors that builds to monumental proportions.
