A. Nicklin is a descriptive account of the places associated with Charles Dickens, written in the early 20th century. This work belongs to the genre of literary travelogue, focusing on the geographical and cultural landscapes that influenced Dickens's writing. The book captures the essence of what is often referred to as "Dickens-land," exploring the locations that inspired many of his beloved characters and settings while also offering insights into his personal life and connections to these places. The narrative invites readers on a journey through the Kentish countryside, particularly around Rochester, Chatham, and Gadshill, where Dickens spent his later years. Nicklin describes various homes, churches, and public houses, such as the Leather Bottle Inn and Restoration House, and connects them to Dickens's works like "Great Expectations" and "David Copperfield." He shares anecdotes about Dickens's walks and the scenic landscapes that shaped his imagination, highlighting how these locations provided not only inspiration for his stories but also reflected his experiences and emotions. Through vivid descriptions and historical context, the book underscores Dickens's enduring legacy intertwined with the landscapes of Kent.
