This book, first published in 1988, reveals the great care Dickens took with the planning and preparation of A Tale of Two Cities and its roots. It also explores the aspects of Dickens’s life which contributed to the genesis of the novel.
A brilliantly funny, laugh-out-loud story about a missing cake, a pack of criminally-minded, cake-stealing penguins and a little boy with a talent for the tallest of tales!
