Sam Weller (fictional character)

Sam Weller is a fictional character in "The Pickwick Papers", the first novel by Charles Dickens, and is allegedly the character that made Dickens famous. Weller first appeared at the White Hart in the third serialised episode. Previously the monthly parts of the book had been doing badly — the humour of the character transformed the book into a publishing phenomenon.
