On a London winter’s day, beneath a sky the colour of tarnished silver and among the venerable stones of Highgate Cemetery, stands famed actor Simon Callow, speaking warmly of the undying spirit of Charles Dickens. A thin frost clings to the earth, as though Time itself sprinkles the graves in solemn remembrance, yet in Mr. Callow's words there burns a lively gratitude for that great chronicler of human frailty. The past does not lie buried beneath the snow, but stirs, breathes, and lives again.
