Dickens's fellow author, friend, and occasional collaborator had his bicentennial yesterday. (My apologies for posting a day late!) As Jane Clinton writes in the Camden New Journal, "A moustache-growing competition and a dramatic mountain rescue — there was rarely a dull moment in the friendship of Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins."
The Dickens Museum has announced it will extend its exhibition on Collins to April 21, "enabling more people to come and discover the personal side of these two great Victorian writers, as well as their collaborative stories.”
