“I have nothing else to tell; unless, indeed, I were to confess that no one can ever believe this narrative, in the reading, more than I have believed it in the writing.”

We are currently working on a documentary about Charles Dickens….. Did you know?

He didn't grow a beard until he was in his forties.

As soon as you think of Charles Dickens, you probably imagine a black-and-white image of an older man with a great bushy beard. Indeed, people who have not read Dickens's novels often think of him as a dull, or very serious Victorian writer.

This could not be further from the truth! As well as breathing huge amounts of hilarity into all of his novels, Dickens was a vivacious and gregarious person. He loved bright colours, and gaudy patterns. He dressed quite flamboyantly, and was a bit of a dandy. His cellar was always well stocked with wines and spirits, while Charles and Catherine loved to throw dinners and parties for their friends and family. Portraits of Dickens in his twenties and thirties show a young man who is clean shaven, with long locks of hair, and an ambitious twinkle in his eye. Quite the catch!
