Lucinda Dickens Hawksleyin conversation with Elly Griffiths
In Elly Griffiths’ new novella, The Case of the Christmas Card, Charles Dickens finds himself in 2024 - and even visits the museum in his former home, at 48 Doughty Street! Join Elly as she discusses Charles Dickens, time travel, crime fiction and her latest series, ’The Frozen People’ – as well as the importance of writing about Christmas. She will be chatting about all of these with Dickens’s own great great great granddaughter, fellow author Lucinda Hawksley.
