The latest chapter in my novel Songbird features Great Marlborough Street and the Marlborough Street Magistrates Court (pictured, Wikipedia), which has played host to a number of famous people over the years including Oscar Wilde, John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Johnny Rotten and Christine Keeler. Charles Dickens also worked there, as a reporter.

"Firmness, I may observe, was the grand quality on which both Mr. and Miss Murdstone took their stand. However I might have expressed my comprehension of it at that time, if I had been called upon, I nevertheless did clearly comprehend in my own way, that it was another name for tyranny; and for a certain gloomy, arrogant, devil’s humour, that was in them both." - From David Copperfield by Charles Dickens

"Mr Cruncher himself always spoke of the year of our Lord as Anna Dominoes: apparently under the impression that the Christian era dated from the invention of a popular game, by a lady who had bestowed her name upon it".

Happy 2025 #Birthday to #CharlesDickens

..."Today is the 213th birthday of one of the greatest novelists of all time, the amazing Charles Dickens.

Social conscience in a land where there were no child labor laws, his works endure to this day as iconic pieces of English literature. His books have never been out of print these past 150 years, no small feat!

To dispel one popular notion, no, Charles Dickens (7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870; "...

In the book The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep, David Copperfield was given so much love and appreciation that I thought, "Damn, maybe I should read that one." So here I am - decades removed from any class where reading a mid-19th Century story by one of the most celebrated authors ever is a requirement - picking up my dad's battered old Signet Classic paperback and settling in for almost 900 pages of very small print. 😎 #Books #FridayReads #AmReading #CharlesDickens #Bookstodon @bookstodon

Signet Classics paperback edition of David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. The slightly creased cover shows a picture of a red-haired boy in mid-19th Century dress. The book is sitting on top of a partially visible messenger bag with the upper level of a commuter train car visible in the background.
