The great-granddaughter of Charles Dickens , Miss Monica Dickens was educated at St Paul’s School for Girls. After leaving school she travelled abroad and then returned home and joined a dramatic school. She was presented at Court as a debutante in 1935 and then went in search of a job as a cook-general. After a series of such jobs, she wrote her first book ‘One Pair of Hands’, which was published in 1939 and this was followed in 1940 by her first novel ‘Mariana’.  A gem among a bounty of out of print, rare and stunning vintage books in our second hand bookstore.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55801174884731,"sku":"10598443","price":5.87,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/files\/orig_490658_jpg.jpg?v=1759242642","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/thursdays-afternoons-by-monica-dickens-penguin-1965","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
