Logan Finch has just about everything he ever wanted, including a penthouse apartment & a shot at making partner in one of Glasgow's largest law firms.

Dickens's England details the towns, villages, streets & buildings with connections to Dickens's life, & explores the fascinating landscape of his imagination, that mixture of fact & fantasy inhabited by the memorable characters in his novels. Arranged as a gazetteer, the book explores a world that is largely hidden or demolished, but still leaves traces today."ing liberally from the novels themselves, it brings to life Mr Pickwick's Bath, David Copperfield's Yarmouth, Nicholas Nickleby's Yorkshire, the Kent of Great Expectations & the London of Oliver Twist & Bill Sikes, of the Dorrits & the Dombeys, of Chancery & Newgate Prison. The book is illustrated with a mixture of images contemporary to the time & more up-to-date photographs that reveal a surprising amount of Dickensian atmosphere still lingering in the 21st century. The book also covers the places associated with Dickens himself, including his birthplace in Portsmouth, the site of the blacking factory where he famously worked as a child, his favourite holiday destinations, & his final home at Gad's Hill in Kent, including the Dickens museums & attractions in Portsmouth, London, Broadstairs & Rochester. There are over 200 entries, taking us from London to Liverpool, from Plymouth to Preston, from Bath to Birmingham, plus a chronology of Dickens's life & maps showing all the locations in England & London. Endlessly fascinating, Dickens's England is the perfect companion for Dickens fans, tourists & armchair travellers alike. ...
