Synopsis

Charles Dickens is an undisputed genius whose novels have remained enduringly popular all around the world, amusing and moving his readers in equal measure. A quiet chat with his ghost in the inn beloved by Mr Pickwick brings you all his vigour, warmth and humanity - and a scintillating tour through the life, career, eccentricities and trenchant opinions of one of the superstars of the Victorian world. Dickens 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 his popular lecture tours in America.
