What will you win?
Three gloriously Dickensian books, enabling you to escape the autumn cold.
- The Sparkler is a novel by Alan Humm, set in the 1830s as a young Charles Dickens establishes his career as a writer. Described as a 'dark hymn to pre-Victorian London in all its grotty glory.'
- Dickens and Staplehurst is a fascinating non-fiction written by Charles Dickens's 3x great grandson Gerald Dickens. Authoritatively researched, it describes the shocking events leading up to and following on from Dickens's brush with death in the Staplehurst rail accident of 1865.
- American Ending is a glorious novel written by Marky Kay Zuravleff. Reccomended by Oprah, it is set in the early 20th century American mining community, and wonderfully evokes Dickens's literary approach, while adjusting it to a more modern setting.
Three books to chase away the autumn cold, and ignite your own imagination. And all you have to do is sign up to our newsletter!
