Lucinda Dickens Hawksley – Dickens and Travel

11.00 am Southwold Arts Centre £10

Charles Dickens was fascinated by tales from other countries and cultures and longed to see the world. Lucinda Hawksley looks at the journeys made by the Victorian author – who is also her great great great grandfather.

“Hawksley explores the novelist’s almost compulsive fascination with the need to be elsewhere.” Grace Moore, TLS

“Hawksley provides readers with a wealth of details and anecdotes that recreate the spirit and atmosphere of these visits… We get a feel of the journey through Dickens’s own words.” Natalie Vanfasse, Dickens Quarterly
