Last month, Ian Dickens, great-great-grandson of the author and former president of the Dickens Fellowship, hosted a celebration of the 175th anniversary of Dickens's summer visit to the island. Several Dickens cousins, including Mark Dickens, Lucinda Dickens Hawksley, and Ian's brother Gerald Dickens took part in the festivities, which included a museum exhibition, a children's writing competition, and performances by Gerald. Gerald has an enthusiastic and enjoyable writeup of the event on his blog.
