What the Dickens?

This was the actual house of Charles Dickens. He lived here for around two years. He wrote Pickwick Papers, Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickelby and other shorter stories while living in this house. He loved entertaining people and he would even write his stories while in the company of others to be "sociable." The furniture in this video is Dickens' actual furniture, saved from the different houses he lived in. Learning more about his personal life made me love his writings all the more. He was an eccentric, hard-working, dramatic and lively man. I wish I could have known him.
