Note to the Reader

About the Author

OTE

This is a work of fiction. Throughout the manuscript, I have comingled Charles Dickens's words with my own. Prior to writing, I had the pleasure of reading all of Dickens's books and collected articles in addition to studying his times. I invite the reader to suspend disbelief and enjoy.
