What the Dickens!
December 2,3,10, 2005

Synopsis:

It is late October, 1843. Charles Dickens, a man of 31 years of age, has achieved some little notoriety with the publication of “Pickwick Papers”, “Oliver Twist”, “Nicholas Nickleby”, and “the Old Curiosity Shop” among others. 

He has gone for a walk, leaving his wife Catherine and his four children at home, as he wanders the streets of London near his home in Regent’s Park, trying desperately to come up with some inspriation to satisfy his editor’s request for a story with a Christmas theme. His wanderings finally lead him to his local pub, “The Bull and Bush”, where he stops to warm himself.
