Nearby The Secret World of Charles Dickens

 
 
The great Victorian novelist celebrates his bicentennial year in 2012, so it's no surprise that the people at 48 Doughty Street have planned a wonderful array of events to toast the writer's legacy. Dickens is known as a literary genius, but he was also a gifted amateur magician, The Secret World of Charles Dickens celebrates the writer's love of magic by taking a look at his books, articles and personal letters. The evening is presented by Ian Keable, who will revive some of Dickens' favourite tricks and explore the author's sceptical interest in spiritualism.
 

About Charles Dickens Museum

Charles Dickens brought London to life with his imaginative depictions of city life and his fascination and passion for the foggy Victorian streets have inspired two centuries of readers. His iconic characters such as Fagin, Scrooge, Guppy, Artful Dodger and Magwitch have seeped into London's historical fabric and his fictional scenes have ingrained themselves in our everyday culture.
