Visit the superb collection of Dickens material at Cleveland Public Library, Main Building. Entitled "The Inimitable Boz: Charles Dickens, An Exploration of His Life, His Works, His Times," this exhibit's multi-disciplinary displays flow over three floors of the lovely old library building. The library's brochure offers a tip of the hat to the Cleveland Dickens Fellowship and a special thanks to members Kathy Broz and Beth Bliss for contributions to the library's already amazing collection. The exhibit will be available through February. Don't miss it.

The International Dickens Fellowship was founded in 1902. Its objectives were "to knit together in a common bond of friendship lovers of the great master of humor and pathos, Charles Dickens," to spread the love of humanity, to campaign against those "social evils" that most concerned Dickens, and " to assist in the preservation and purchase of buildings and objects associated with his name or mentioned in his works." One of those special buildings is The Dickens House Museum, 48 Doughty Street, London.
Branches of the Fellowship now exist around the world, from Japan to Argentina and from India to Australia.
Edited by Malcolm Andrews, The Dickensian, combining contributions from academic as well as lay enthusiasts, leads Dickensian criticism around the world. Its headquarters, along with headquarters for the Fellowship, is in the Dickens House Museum, 48 Doughty Street, London, the home of Charles Dickens from 1837 to 1839.
