Description
Imagined by one of the world's foremost Dickens scholars, this fictionalised 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 vigour, 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.
Who could possibly ask for more?

june l, Educator
Charles Dickens led an interesting life, and his novels feature many seemingly autobiographical details. However, he destroyed many of his letters and personal writings, leaving biographers to make educated guesses about some very important aspects of his life. In this book, after some preliminary biography, Paul Schlicke has imagined what it would be like if Dickens had been interviewed by a genial admirer. It is an interesting exercise, and one that I think that my students will be able to relate to and even imitate in their own assignments.
Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for the digital ARC!
