About Classic British Novels
British fiction runs from Scott's Scottish borders to the rain-slick streets of Dickens's London. Some of these books were read aloud by lamplight in the parlor, and plenty still sit worn and dog-eared on a kitchen shelf. The titles alone, a first name or a single surname, are enough to bring a whole world back.
