For my seasonal festive celebrations I'm rereading the man who started it all but instead of Pickwick it's the more appropriate Hard Times (for these times).
Not Dickens as such but I'm currently reading Jack Wild autobiography during lockdown. It's interesting but at same time very sad book. Loved his acting in The 14.
Worth reading JK.

This is one of the best biographical books of the year. Yes it is another on Dickens (Peter Ackroyd's is the definitive) but it is fresh, fast paced, original, insightful and written by one of our best biographers and novelists, A.N Wilson.
Highly recommended to anyone interested in the great man, and my current read:
