Coffee With Dickens

The most illustrious figures of the past would have much to tell us if only we could borrow an hour or so of their time. The COFFEE WITH... series of dramatized biographies enables us to do just that. A quiet chat with Charles Dickens turns into a scintillating tour through the life, career, eccentricities, and trenchant opinions of one of the superstars of the Victorian world... and we can even ask questions!

The great novelist Charles Dickens attracted international adulation on an unprecendented scale. He cultivated a genial intimacy with his readers, and after he died many of his admirers felt that they had lost a personal friend. Sit back and listen to this master conversationalist talk above everything from work in a boot-polish factory to lecture tours in America.
