Charles Dickens: A Very Peculiar History
Author Fiona Macdonald
Taking a unique look at one of the most acclaimed and best-loved English writers of the nineteenth century, Charles Dickens, A Very Peculiar History asks why, what, where, how and who the Dickens was Charles Dickens?

Why did he keep a pet raven that pecked at his children's shins? Why did he have a tunnel built under the road in front of his country house? Find out the answers to these questions and even more bizarre ones throughout the book, which features quirky stories and fascinating trivia about this singularly complex man and consummate artist.
