Dickens of London

Dreams

In New York, Dickens is invited to a sportsman's dinner, one of many such invitations that he regularly receives. He recalls a time when, as still a young man, he sorely grieved the loss of sister-in-law Mary, whom he loved very dearly. He continues to produce novels, including 'Oliver Twist' but begins to fear for his health and seeks the world-weary Dr. Elliotson to take out an insurance policy.
