The Dickens Project Our main web site seems to be down for a little while because IT is doing some work. We're on furlough until next week anyway. Check back!
The Dickens Project Tonight is the annual Dickens Project Holiday Extravaganza, which normally just means 3 of us have dinner or lunch together. This time we will have a dozen for hot cider, gingerbread, cookies, and cheese. There is a quiz, with a prize, and John Jordan will do a seasonal reading. Happy Holidays to all!
The Dickens Project We will be featuring two novels: Oliver Twist and Sketches By Boz. Come help us celebrate! Alumni grad students will receive a $50 discount off registration. Details and registration will be posted on our web site in December.
It's our 30th Birthday!
