A book of reminiscences filled with memorable accounts of Fields's relationships with some of the greatest 19th century authors: Hawthorne, Thackeray, Dickens (with many letters to Fields), Wordsworth, Mary Russell Mitford, and B. W. Proctor (writing under the name of "Barry Cornwall").
There are many excerpts from letters, as well as a long chapter on Dickens, including the audition of the early chapters of Drood.
