This week, Laura and Melinda are joined by a very special guest: Lucinda Dickens Hawksley, the great-great-great granddaughter of Charles Dickens himself! 🎄✨
In this festive conversation, they explore how A Christmas Carol shaped our modern Christmas traditions, inspired by themes of redemption and social responsibility that Dickens was passionate about. They also discuss Dickens’ parasomnias and how the nightmares and hallucinations he experienced inspired key scenes in A Christmas Carol.
Don’t miss this fantastic conversation to also learn about forgotten Victorian Christmas celebrations and how Lucinda is keeping them alive today.
Tune in to hear more, including a sneak peek into Lucinda’s latest book, A Victorian Christmas. Perfect reading for the holidays!
