Christmas with Charles Dickens
You're Dead to Me
Dickens' Christmases
Dickens was the son of a Clark type family, not necessarily wealthy by any means. Most people didn't have ovens and so there'd be a queue of people around bakers shops who weren't allowed to bake bread. He's slightly terrified of his toys - one toy had lobster eyes that bore down onto him. But you can kind of tell he's exaggerating some of this. On a lighter note, he went to see the famous clown, Grimaldi, in a pantomime at Covent Garden of Theatre in 1820 which made him want to be an actor too.
