Charles Dickens's understanding of the human character is apparent to every good reader of his works; but his intimate knowledge of the “character” of places, and of the important effect of place upon the human being, is not so apparent, because the reader has not the necessary knowledge of the places upon which to base an estimate.
In “The Real Dickens Land” the authors have attempted to supply this necessary knowledge, not only by literary identification, but by presenting one of the fullest collections of photographic views thus identified ever got together.
