Dickens' faith and morality shines through in his great novels, but I was not aware of this. Thanks for sharing this lovely story and for including some of his fatherly 'asides' to the children.
While I celebrate the Old World Reads addition, I would recommend that it become a parallel thing to the core menswear and aesthetic posts on Wednesday, or at the very least be a rare occurrence, if replacing them. I believe most people, as I myself, value this publication so highly exactly because it presents writing on menswear and aesthetics more generally with great acumen and depth, and from a uniquely Catholic perspective. I wouldn’t want that identity and following you’ve done so much to cultivate to be diluted.

Agreed! This is one of his least known and most atypical works, so most folks are surprised to hear about it.
