This work from experienced travel writer M. F. Mansfield (aka Francis Miltoun) takes the reader on a fascinating journey through Dickens' London, the locations that featured in his life as well as his art, with a side tour to parts of Kent. Although primarily intended to enlighten American Dickens enthusiasts on a trip to London in the 1900s, today it offers a fascinating snapshot of London life at the turn of the last century, contrasted with the London of half a century earlier. Thus it is of great interest to social historians of the period, as well as fans of Dickens. This is a carefully re-edited modern version, with an expanded index, which maintains all the original black and white illustrations.
