The Victorian City: Everyday Life in Dickens' London
by Judith Flanders
Published 14 Oct 2012

And to Patrick Leary, list-master extraordinaire, go not merely my thanks for creating such a congenial environment, but also for pointing me towards the Regent’s Park skating disaster. I am grateful to my agent Bill Hamilton for his skill, and for his patience and tolerance. I thank, too, all those at Atlantic Books, past and present: Alan Craig, Karen Duffy, Lauren Finger, Richard Milbank, Sarah Norman, Bunmi Oke, Sarah Pocklington, Orlando Whitfield and Corinna Zifko. My thanks too to Jeff Edwards, Douglas Matthews, Lindsay Nash, Leo Nickolls and Tamsin Shelton. The wonderful pictures were found by Josine Meijer, while Celia Levett, with her sensitive and rigorous copy-editing, improved every sentence of the text. Finally, I owe my career to Ravi Mirchandani, now my publisher but, before I became a writer, my friend.
