This one's for you British readers: This Thursday, Lucinda Dickens-Hawksley, great-great-great-granddaughter of Charles Dickens, will conduct a tour of the Charles Dickens Museum. If you get to go, have fun!
And remind me to tell you sometime about how I searched for the Museum through the streets of London with no success. Next time I'm taking TWO maps. And a guide. And a compass. And maybe some bloodhounds.
Wow, not a bad price tag to take this tour!
Isn't there also a descendant who performs in character as Dickens?

Rob, you're right. At least, his great-great-grandson performs as several Dickens characters.

Brits really DO have more fun.
