For an old amateur actor who had read all of Dickens by the time he was 25, and who had admired Simon Callow for many years, this book was a great joy. It clarified my own inchoate musings about Dickens' love of performance, and made me go back to the originals so as to read them -aloud! The Callow book sits well with the stage performances of that other Dickens expert, Miriam Margolyes, seen recently in Hobart.
