«Our Mutual Friend» is the graded reader of Charles Dickens's novel adapted by Margaret Tarner and Kay Mary Wilson, in paperback (112 pages, English).
Set in Victorian London, the story opens with the appearance of a corpse in the Thames and an inheritance linked to a heap of rubbish. Its characters, from humble London to high society, move between the desire for money, appearances and ambition, with a portrait of the corruption that wealth brings and social criticism.

Suitable for secondary school English students and for readers seeking an accessible version of Dickens.

His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime and, by the 20th century, critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius.
