The event, a "quiet family dinner," started at 2:30pm. There is no word on what Dickens thought of the experience, though his guests were thrilled (see link).

Recollections of #Dickens, such as the 1928 memoir by son Sir Henry Fielding Dickens, eventually ended in the early twentieth century.

Yet, biographies of the author have continued to abound into the twenty-first century, a genre that shows no sign of losing readers' interest!

In 1896, the edited biography was retitled "My Father As I Recall Him." Kate Perugini assisted with its publication after the death of her older sister.

Notable quote: "And then his punctuality! It was almost frightful to an unpunctual mind!" (13, 1896).

With Dickens and Co. came 6 saddle-horses, an armed guard, and 22 guides, because the wintry weather rendered the climb extremely dangerous.

Initially, the women were put in two litters (chairs with poles) and carried up the icy slope.

On Friday, 21 February 1845 at 4pm, Charles #Dickens and other brave-or foolish-adventurers (Mr. Le Gros, Catherine, Georgina Hogarth, Louis Roche), set out on an adventure.

They planned to climb Italy's famous Mt. Vesuvius on the Gulf of Naples to gaze into its flaming crater🌋
