FIRST EDITION FIRST ISSUE. TALE OF TWO CITIES ranks amongst the most famous works in the history of literary fiction. It is one of only two works of historical fiction by Charles Dickens and stands out from most of Dickens's other novels as the one containing the least humour. That is not surprising as the historical context of the novel the French Revolution and Reign of Terror were a bit bleak to allow for the wackier characters Dickens is known for. This fact has in no way impacted the novel’s popularity it has never been out of print and by the start of the 21th century had sold an estimated 200 million copies worldwide.
