One of my absolute highlights working at the @DickensMuseum was seeing this Leech sketch up close.
This was the first time Scrooge had EVER been depicted artistically, and he has barely changed since!
Plus Marley's ghost has some of the greatest lines in literature...
Today is the birthday of Catherine Elizabeth Macready Perugini, the younger Dickens daughter.
She was born here in 1839 and was still alive when we opened as a museum in 1925.
@lucindahawksley will be giving a talk on Katey TODAY at 2pm (UK Time).
