    With a selection of letters by Charlotte Bront .'Vanitas Vanitatum! Which of us is happy in this world? Which of us has his desire? or, having it, is satisfied?'No one is better equipped in the struggle for wealth and worldly success than the alluring and ruthless Becky Sharp, who defies her impoverished background to clamber up the class ladder. Her sentimental companion Amelia, however, longs only for caddish soldier George. As the two heroines make their way through the tawdry glamour of Regency society, battles - military and domestic - are fought, fortunes made and lost. The one steadfast and honourable figure in this corrupt world is Dobbin with his devotion to Amelia, bringing pathos and depth to Thackeray's gloriously satirical epic of love and social adventure.The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

    "The Christmas Books of Mr. M.A. Titmarsh" is a collection of five Christmas-themed stories written by the British author William Makepeace Thackeray, who is best known for his satirical novels such as "Vanity Fair." The pseudonym "Mr. M.A. Titmarsh" was used by Thackeray for his lighter and more humorous works. These stories were published in various periodicals during the 1830s and 1840s and have been compiled into a single volume. The five Christmas stories included in this collection are: "Mrs. Perkins's Ball" (1847): This is a humorous tale set at a Christmas ball, focusing on the characters and social interactions during the event. Thackeray's wit and keen observations of human behavior are on full display in this story. "Our Street" (1848): In this story, the narrator takes readers on a tour of a London street during Christmastime, describing the various characters and their preparations for the holiday season. It's a charming and nostalgic exploration of Victorian Christmas traditions. "Doctor Birch and His Young Friends" (1848): This story is a continuation of Thackeray's earlier novel "The Book of Snobs." It features Dr. Birch, a headmaster, and a group of young students, and it satirizes the manners and pretensions of the upper classes. "The Kickleburys on the Rhine" (1850): This story follows the travel adventures of the Kicklebury family as they tour the Rhine River during the Christmas season. Thackeray uses the journey as an opportunity for humorous social commentary. "The Rose and the Ring" (1855): While not a Christmas story in the traditional sense, this fairy tale is included in the collection. It tells the story of a magical ring and the comical events that unfold when it comes into the possession of two young princes. The story is a delightful and imaginative departure from Thackeray's usual style. These stories offer a mix of humor, satire, and social commentary, reflecting the wit and storytelling skills for which Thackeray is known. While they may not be as famous as his major novels, "The Christmas Books of Mr. M.A. Titmarsh" provides readers with a glimpse into Thackeray's lighter, more festive side as he explores the holiday season and the quirks of human nature. The collection is a delightful addition to Victorian literature and remains a cherished part of Thackeray's literary legacy.

The Christmas Books of Mr. M. A. Titmarsh: During their lifetimes, Charles Dickens and William Makepeace Thackeray were engaged in a friendly competition of sorts to see who could gain the most stature and popularity as writers for the masses. Following in Dickens' footsteps, Thackeray began penning a series of heartwarming holiday-themed tales to be published in serial form, often under the pen name "Michael Angelo Titmarsh." Thackeray wrote for the Christmas season: Mrs. Perkins's Ball; Our Street; Doctor Birch and His Young Friends; The Kickleburys on the Rhine; and The Rose and the Ring; or, The History of Prince Giglio and Prince Bulbo.
