Indeed the book could otherwise have been described as "near fine." Dustjacket designed by Biro. was Catherine Dickens a stupid and unimaginative woman? Most biographers appear to have thought so and in presenting her as a week and the personality they have explained, if not excused, her husband's scandalous treatment of her. Intensified researchers justified the author and her contention that Catherine was neither dull nought avoided character. Contrary to almost everything else that has been written about the misunderstood woman, she was a capable wife, intelligent and sensitive  and through her sensitivity vulnerable.  Dustjacket blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 240 pages.
