Miranda and Serenity attended the Wells Literary Festival ‘Sea Fever’ to listen to Professor John Mullan speak on Charles Dickens. Using extracts from his recent book, ‘The Artful Dickens’, Professor Mullan led his audience through the weird, wonderful and often humorous aspects of Dickens’s style. Listening to this eminent academic speak locally was such a privilege – we look forward to attending the festival again next year!
