Dickens London Fact File

Richard Jones's is the author of WALKING DICKENSIAN LONDON, a book that took almost two years to research and write. The result is a beautiful book packed with Dickensian fact and fiction. Now you can explore Dickens's London with a genuine authority on the subject. In each of the twenty-eight London walks and yours Richard will take you to places that have changed little since the days when Dickens knew them.

Follow him down a muddy path to gaze upon the house to which Dickens came to recover from the death of his beloved sister-in-law, Mary Hogarth. Stand outside the home of Dickens great friend and business adviser, John Forster. It was in this house that Dickens, freshly returned from Italy, gave a private reading from his newly completed

Christmas book The Chimes. Let Richard lead you to the former home of the actress Frances Ternan with whose daughter, Ellen, Dickens became involved in 1857. She may well have been his inspiration for Estella in Great Expectations and it was with her that he spent his final years, a fact that was one of Victorian London's most closely guarded secrets. Old alleyways, twisting lanes, places where those who knew Dickens best lived, are all included on the 28 London walks and 2 countryside tours that Richard details in his books and in a forthcoming DVD documentary. And with a genuine authority as you guide you know that you will be seeing the best that Dickensian London has to offer.
