Life of Charles Dickens

Vintage engraving of a scene from the Life of Charles Dickens. If you could but know how I hated one man in very dirty gaiters, and with very protruding upper teeth, who said to all comers after him, So you've been introduced to our friend Dickens - eh!. Fred Barnard

The Mojave Desert is a rain-shadow arid desert area that occupies a significant portion of southeastern California and smaller parts of central California, southern Nevada, southwestern Utah and northwestern Arizona in the United States. The Mojave Deserts boundaries are generally defined by the presence of Yucca brevifolia (Joshua trees), considered an indicator species for this desert. It is the driest of the North American deserts. The desert is believed to support between 1, 750 and 2, 000 species of plants
