Charles Dickens 
Sketches of Young Couples [PDF ebook] 

This is a collection of short ‘stories’, describing different types of young couples. As always, Dickens’ scatterings of humour help make it an enjoyable read. It’s mainly an exercise in characterisation, but each little chapter reads like a story, or part of a story. This book would be a useful tool to someone wanting to learn how to write.
As with Charles Dickens’ ‘Sketches of Young Gentlemen’ – this seemingly companion piece ‘Sketches of Young Couples’ is similarly a relatively early and short work by Charles Dickens – in which he outlines in a humorous and vaguely satirical way various ‘types’ of young couples in society. It is quite entertaining in its way and interesting as an early Dickens piece.
