An elaborate hoax involves passing Snawley off as another figure's father.
An elaborate hoax involves passing Snawley off as another figure's father. Persons like Miss La Creevy, a miniaturist, and Mrs. Wititterley, a hypochondriac, provide employment and shelter to one of the main characters who is harassed by Mr. Mantalini. A more sinister figure is Lord Verisopht who dies in a duel. The third of its author's novels, it was begun after he and his friend Hablot Browne traveled to Yorkshire to investigate certain institutions firsthand. Presumably this experience led to the creation of Dotheboys Academy, run by an evil schoolmaster. For ten points, identify this work that features such memorable characters as Smike, the Cheerybles, and Wackford Squeers, a novel by Charles Dickens.
