Imagined by one of the world's foremost Dickens scholars, this fictionalized conversation presents the essential biography of Britain's most beloved novelist.
Sheltering from a summer downpour, you encounter the ghost of Charles Dickens. Join him for a chat in the inn beloved by Mr. Pickwick and be swept away by his vigor, warmth and humanity. You'll feel as if you've known him all your life.
The great novelist Charles Dickens attracted international adulation on an unprecedented scale. He cultivated a genial intimacy with his readers, and after he died many of his admirers felt that they had lost a personal friend. Sit back and listen to this master conversationalist talk about everything from work in a boot-polish factory to lecture tours in America.
