One thought on “What the Dickens!”

  1. Thanks, Sowmyaji . You took me back to my Bombay days when my first movie was A tale of Two Cities in Eros Cinema. I enjoyed solving this themed puzzle. One of cours, needs Th Newnes crossword dictionary at hand, only to verify the spelling of the characters and titles.

    Like PGW , Dickens too had this knack of naming his characters unusually.

    Oh, will there be any more PGWs and Charles Dickens ?
