Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Mary ("Mamie") Dickens (1838-1896) was Dickens' eldest daughter.
She remained with her father until his death in 1870, taking second
place to her aunt, Georgina Hogarth, as housekeeper and companion,
and living with Georgina afterwards. She collaborated with Georgina
in the editing and publication of the three volumes of Dickens'
"Letters"published in 1880. Mamie provides a first hand account of
life with the "inimitable Boz" and his influences on family and
friends, and designed this book to appeal to the young. This title
is cited and recommended by Cambridge Bibliography of English
Literature.

The official biography of Charles Dickens (1812 70) was published
in 1872 4 by his close friend and literary executor John Forster,
and has been reissued in this series. Of the many other memoirs and
reminiscences of the great novelist, this book by his favourite
daughter Mary (1838 96), known as Mamie, is perhaps the least
familiar. Published in 1896, shortly after her death, it gives a
loving picture, based on her own memories, of the person whom she
held 'in my heart of hearts as a man apart from all other men, as
one apart from all other beings'. Mamie, who had taken Dickens's
side during the separation from his wife, and acted effectively as
his housekeeper at Gad's Hill, had compiled an edition of her
father's letters with her aunt Georgina Hogarth, and this second
act of piety gives an idyllic - perhaps too idyllic - account of
daily life with Dickens."
