Charles Dickens


 * "What the Shakespeare?!"
 * Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens was encountered on Christmas 1869 in Cardiff by the Doctor and Rose Tyler during a period of personal despair. The Doctor revealed himself as major fan of Dickens' work. The adventure Dickens experienced alongside the Doctor and Rose re-invigorated his sense of wonder and he resolved to re-tell the affair of fiction, but the Doctor knew he would not live long enough to do so. When he did die, he did so a happier man. (DW: The Unquiet Dead)
