CHARLES DICKENS' S ENGLAND

Last week I watched a documentary, "Charles Dickens’ England" and I loved it. Sir Derek Jocobi, the documentary presenter, was a fantastic host that introduced us to the life of the British writer and its connection with different spots from Great Britain.

I learned that Dickens travelled to Yorkshire to investigate matters linked to child abuse in some orphanages. It is also mentioned a train crash in which he was involved and that traumatized him.

Here you have more information about the documentary.

Sir Derek Jacobi is a well known and prestigious British actor that has played several Shakespearean roles in plays and films. He has a special connection with classical literature.
