About The Friends Of Dickens

We Are Fun, Friendship and Learning.

We are people throughout the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut - and beyond who celebrate Charles Dickens: his life, his times, his accomplishments.

Reading, discussing and dramatizing his works is Fun. Building bonds of Friendship and nurturing a passion for Learning through great literature adds zest to everything we do. The spirit of "the Inimitable Boz" walks among us and we revel in his presence.

Each year we select one or more of Dickens's works for our special attention -- this year our novels are Hard Times and the unfinished The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
