Dickens' characters are strikingly portrayed and have become a vital part of our cultural heritage - Scrooge has become a by-word for stinginess, Uriah Heep for unctuousness. From the much loved Oliver Twist to the fact-grubbing Mr Gradgrind, the obstinate Martin Chuzzlewit to the embittered Miss Havisham, this book covers the famous and lesser known characters in Dickens. The book contains a physical and psychological profile of each character, a critical look at his characters by past and present influential commentators and over forty illustrations of major characters drawn by Dickens' contemporaries.
'Live like you might die tomorrow; invest like you will live forever.' Investment master Martin Hawes passes on the most important lessons he has learned during his lifetime of investing in a series of letters to his young grandson Aston. Inspired by the belief that everyone can become wealthy and improve their financial position if they understand and apply the basic principles of investing, Martin wanted to ensure his grandson gained this knowledge, even if Martin was no longer there to impart it in person. Can you time the market? When should you buy your first property? Is debt always a bad thing? How do you know what shares to invest in? Why invest anyway? Martin's advice is timeless and contains investment gems that will resonate with everyone at different stages of their lives. Letters to Aston is a book that will stay on your shelf for a long time, and one you will give your children (and grandchildren) to read.
