    About this ebook

    In this delightful work from the author of Great Expectations, a landlady in Victorian London recounts tales of her colorful lodgers.

    Welcome to 84 Norfolk Street, where the indefatigable Mrs. Lirriper maintains a modest but respectable rooming house. Keeping the place ship shape and staying abreast of her lodgers’ lives is more than a full-time occupation for the dedicated landlady. And with her keen ear for gossip and her natural knack for a good yarn, Mrs. Lirriper is happy to tell you all about it. From wistful memories of her poor deceased husband to tales of her shameless rival down the street, Mrs. Lirriper is never at a loss for good stories, especially ones concerning the many good souls who share her roof.

    Author

    Charles Dickens

    Charles Dickens was born in 1812 and grew up in poverty. This experience influenced ‘Oliver Twist’, the second of his fourteen major novels, which first appeared in 1837. When he died in 1870, he was buried in Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey as an indication of his huge popularity as a novelist, which endures to this day.

      The night, as most nights, was like a dream. At ten, once I’d fed the dog the last scraps off the stove. Once I’d cursed the cat for scratching up my mama’s antique furniture, then welcomed him back into my arms. Once I’d slicked my hair into a ponyt

      MARRIAGE and columns have this in common: you tend to repeat yourself. More than once in these pages, I have quoted the New Yorker’s legendary film critic Pauline Kael. After President Nixon’s landslide victory in 1972 she wrote: ‘I live in a rather
