In this first episode,  Dominic is joined by Dickens' Great-Great-Great Granddaughter, the Writer and Broadcaster,  Lucinda Hawksley. 

On a cold December morning they talk through Lucinda's book Dickens and Christmas , which has just been published in paperback by Pen & Sword Books. It follows the story of Dickens' earliest Christmas as an infant, through to the five great festive novellas he wrote during the 1840s.

From A Christmas Carol to the Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain ...

Lucinda's also shares her earliest memories of knowing who Dickens was and what she really thinks about each of the five Christmas books!
