My father as I recall him

Mary Dickens, known as Mamie, offers a heartfelt and intimate portrayal of her father, the renowned novelist, in this biography published posthumously in 1896. Drawing from her personal memories, she presents a unique perspective on his character, depicting him as a remarkable individual set apart from others. Having supported him during his separation from his wife and served as his housekeeper, Mamie's account reflects both admiration and nostalgia, providing a possibly idealized glimpse into their daily life together.
