Birthday roundup

Just catching up on a few Dickens birthday articles from yesterday: 

  • The BBC's HistoryExtra website shared a few quirky facts about Dickens's home life, including his love for parties and his taxidermied pets!
  • Newsweek offered a few basic Dickens facts and popular quotes in honor of the day.
  • Female First compiled a list of actors who have played Dickens. I knew about Simon Callow, Dan Stevens, and Ralph Fiennes, but not the others. (I certainly didn't know about Anthony Hopkins!)
  • And finally, Londonist had an article about the pubs that every Dickensian should know.
