Love Dickens. One of the few writers who can still be enjoyed by any age (including children).
Bit of a Dickens binge at the home. I am re-reading “Great Expectations” and the family is watching the BBC adaptation of Little Dorrit via Amazon Prime. My wife and daughter are hooked.
Merry Christmas.

Watched it last year. I enjoyed it too

I agree. Eight Bow Ties out of a possible 9.5.
You made me laugh...Merry Christmas.

A good review of an interesting movie! You’ve reminded me to finally read a Kindle book I’ve had for ages, Charles Dickens’ Night Walks, essays about his walks around London at night — just what the title says!
You flatter me. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
Well worth the money! Very entertaining and is a great movie.
that’s awesome!
It also tends to sentimentalize the celebration of His birth into a maudlin tale of personal redemption.
