Mr Dickens (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Davey is eleven years old when he picks up a book at a flea market. And it's not just any book. This one is handwritten and very old. Inside it says:

The Journal of Charles Dickens

An Account of My Travels Around London in Search of Little Nell

Davey has never heard of Mr. Dickens, but something about the words, the pictures, and even the smell of this book draw him in....and then draw him through.

In a blink, Davy finds himself on the dirty, dangerous London waterfront, where he meets a friendly young pickpocket named Dodger and an ugly, angry dwarf named Quilp. They both warn him about the man with eyes like a raven who stalks the streets; he sucks the souls of the less fortunate and deposits them into the stories he writes.

The book draws Davey deeper into the forgotten world of Dickens' England, until finally Davy comes face to face with the great man himself. Can a small boy from Ohio change the heart of one of the most popular writers of the English language?

Autorenporträt

One thing about living a long life is to realise that suffering cannot be avoided. There are banana skins everywhere! The good news is that if you share that journey with people who love and support you then you will get to the 'other side' of suffering and be a wiser more complete human being.Who am I? I'm the son of George and Irene, brother of David and Ian, blessed husband of Maggie and father myself to six fantastic people. My father, my mother, my brother David and our son Rory are all dead and yet their lives still resonate in mine. I have been a Doctor of Medicine for over fifty years and have shared so many fantastic and deeply sad moments with those who have told me their own unique stories.Books have fed my mind and my imagination. I hope that Mr Dickens will continue to stimulate the minds and imaginations of young folk and help them become caring and good adults.
