Dickens Papers
Bring Fabulous
$15 Per Word
Only a few years ago, a previously
unpublished Dicken's manuscript,
"The Life of Our Lord,"
was presented to the world.
This simple, moving narrative
had been written by Dickens 100
years earlier for the exclusive enjoyment
of his children and because
he felt such deep veneration
and reverence for the life and lessons
of our Saviour, Dickens had
left instructions that this particular
manuscript never be commercialized.
It was never made public
until the year 1933, after the death
of Sir Henry Fielding Dickens, the
author's youngest child.
Literary Prise
Purchased by the London Daily
Mail for the staggering amount of
$210,000—or, >15 per word, the
manuscript became a literary
event of the first magnitude, destined
to be read and cherished forever
wherever thoughtful parents,
like Dickens, want their children
to know something about the history
of Jesus Christ.
For, according to Dickens:
"Everybody ought to know about
Him. No one ever lived who was
so good, so kind, so gentle, and so
sorry for peAple who did wrong or
were in any way ill and miserable,
as He was.
"And as He is now in Heaven,
where we all hope to go, and all
meet each other after we are dead,
and there be happy always together,
you can never think what a
good place Heaven is, without
knowing who He was and what He
did."
