"It was a crazy, tumbledown old house, abutting of course on the river, and literally overrun with rats." -Charles Dickens, on the blacking factory he worked in. I love how front endpapers created are books by the end.

If you’re a Charles Dickens fan you’re sure to love our stamps depicting his famous tale ‘A Christmas Carol’. Our 63p stamp shows the Ghost of Christmas Present flying Scrooge off to show him the humble Christmas of the Cratchit family https://t.co/LkJSjtH6m8

Also interesting to think of how taste change. In Dickens' time The Cricket on the Hearth was immensely popular, with productions playing in multiple theatres at once (not to mention it's the ONLY Dickens story that D.W. Griffiths - a big Dickens fan - adapted for film)
