This novel deals with one of Ackroyd's great heroes, Charles Dickens, and is a reworking of Little Dorrit. In 1982 he published The Great Fire of London, his first novel. Internetarchivebookdrive Edition 1st U.S. Ackroyd worked at The Spectator magazine between 19 and became joint managing editor in 1978. Here the author offers a fresh view of Dickens.
