Un sueño cumplido; Todo está perfectamente preservado y se siente en el ambiente a Dickens. Es emocionante poder ver con tus propios ojos su escritura, libros, incluso elementos personales. Quede fascinada también con mi charla con Peter y Sarah, voluntarios del museo que aman a Dickens y entienden cuan especial es para una visitar un lugar así. Sumamente recomendable!
