Theresa Musgrove
Theresa Musgrove originally trained as a journalist and for more than a decade has written a popular political hyperlocal blog, previously one of The Guardian’s top London blogs. It was in connection with this blog that she began to look at local associations with Dickens, which led to the realisation that there was still so much primary source biographical material which has been overlooked. This book is the result of her research.
