“Peaches and maccaroni”

Charles Dickens, “Night Walks” (1860), in Night Walks (Penguin, 2010).

I’ve long wanted a copy of this little book (from Penguin’s Great Ideas series). After collecting the texts of the various essays therein from archive.org and Google Books, I decided to just buy the book. I found one at a reasonable price, like new, via Grand Eagle Retail.
