Since I was a child, I have been and always will be, a Dickens’ groupie

With lots of references to many Dickens novels, the character of Jenny Wren is a mind-blowing example of someone living with a disability. 

Dickens is always full of things that interest me; in this book, it is the handicapped Jenny Wren. In my book, I talk about prejudice against the handicapped and use Jenny as well as President Roosevelt as my examples.
