Our guest speaker at the meeting was Dan Calinescu, a Charles Dickens’ book and memorabilia collector. Dan was the President of the Dickens Fellowship (Toronto Branch) for 10 years. He was invited to speak on his favourite subject: Charles Dickens. It was obvious to the audience that Dan was extremely knowledgeable about Charles Dickens’ life and many tribulations. In addition, Dan showed a number of hard-to-find books and rare items, such as 2 hand-written manuscript pages from Charles Dickens’ composition, a number of Charles Dickens’ name cards and photographs. For Dickens’ Village collectors, this informative speech brought a whole new perspective for the collection and for Charles Dickens’ many achievements.
