The friends traverse the countryside of Georgian England, where their comic misadventures include an encounter with highwaymen, romantic entanglements, and a challenge to a duel. Best of all, they meet Sam Weller, the Cockney valet whose comic philosophy forms the joyous soul of this picaresque romp.\u003cbr\u003ePublished serially in 1836-37, \u003ci\u003eThe Pickwick Papers\u003c\/i\u003e was Dickens' first novel and its rousing success launched his lasting fame.
