The BBC's Charles Dickens Game

Friday September 10, 2004
Prowl the streets of Victorian London and learn all about them from the Dickens' characters you'll meet there. As Kit, the young street urchin, you'll maneuver through the dark and and winding streets meeting the likes of Oliver Twist and Mr. Pickwick.

This Flash game is by no means the cutting edge in animation or interactivity, but it sure is a cool way to learn about Dickensian London and the life and works of Charles Dickens, himself.

Play "Surviving Dickens' London!"
