About this listen
'I hold him in my heart of hearts as a man apart from all other men, as one apart from all other beings.'
A concise, affectionate recollection of one of the greatest literary giants of the nineteenth century, told by the person who knew him best: Mamie Dickens.
First published in 1886 and written shortly after Charles Dickens's death, My Father As I Recall Him is a heartfelt and poignant memoir which offers a rare glimpse into Dickens's personal life. Mamie paints a portrait of a kind and devoted family man, and fondly shares childhood memories of a loving father who was deeply involved in family life at home. Filled with charming anecdotes about Dickens's meticulousness, punctuality and particular love for Christmas celebrations and dancing, My Father As I Recall Him is an endearing and enlightening read for any fan of Dickens's work. This audiobook edition is expertly read by Emma Gregory.
Mary 'Mamie' Dickens (1838 – 1896) was Charles and Catherine Dickens's eldest daughter. Deeply involved in her father's work, she edited Dickens's first collection of letters and appeared in several of his amateur dramatic performances. She is perhaps best known for her biography of Dickens, Charles Dickens by his Eldest Daughter (1885).
