 A LADY'S  AMAZING LIVING HISTORY DISCOVERED

2/24/2014

Picture
A lady for whom I am creating a life story book has traced her ancestors back to her great great grandfather. It turns out that his brother's son, Richard, was the man whom Dirty Dicks was named after! 

Richard  set up his wedding feast in London for his marriage the following day but that night his fiancee tragically died. So distraught was he that he refused to wash, change his clothes or let anyone touch the room and even when his cats died he just left them where they were (see picture).  People came from all over England to see this eccentric, dirty man. After he died the premises were made into a bar and the cobwebs, cats and dirt were left - until health and safety authorities cleaned it up years later. Dirty Dicks in London still exists and Australia's Dirty Dicks theatre restaurant also continues to tell this famous story. It's also believed that the story of Dirty Dick inspired Charles Dickens to create the character of Miss Haversham in Great Expectations.

This is a picture of the most popular 60-page book which can contain around 10,000 words and approx 40 images.  

It is a luxuriously produced book with fabric cover, acid free paper which avoids any image see through onto the next page.

It is a beautiful book with an unusual button-close feature which comes in its own elegant protective case.

And just in case you are wondering, that's a picture of me when I was a baby with my proud father!
