Happy 200th birthday, Charles Dickens!

  • Tuesday, February 07, 2012

It's Charles Dicken's 200th birthday and worldwide, celebrations are in progress! Don't forget to Check out the website Dickens2012 as we celebrate the whole year round. And be sure to get at least one of Dickens's book into your TBR.

And here are few more interesting things I found:

More Dickens stuff after the jump, including sweets and booze!


 Celebrate with some candy from the Charles Dickens Collection by ConfoundConfect. Take your pick from Miss Havisham's Bride-Cake (buttercream, apricot, almond), Mrs. Cratchit's Christmas Pudding (fruits, nuts, brandy, spices) Mr. Chillip's Sherry Negus (sherry, lemon, nutmeg)!
