- Brief description
- Charles Dickens's reading copy of The Story of Little Dombey
- Label
- Charles Dickens first performed The Story of Little Dombey in 1858, and it’s popularity led him to perform it for the rest of his public reading career. While this copy is not the first version of 'Little Dombey' Dickens adapted for public reading by annotating the text and adding stage directions, it is undoubtedly one he used a lot. Dickens made major deletions by painting out text with red watercolour, and in one place the text has been cut up and new manuscript copy pasted in.
