This beautiful slender book is signed by Miriam Margolyes. 

Celebrate the extraordinary female characters of Dickens' works! From Little Nell to Miss Havisham, these incredible women have the power to bring forth laughter and tears in readers even today. In 2012, the bicentenary of Dickens' birth, Miriam Margolyes will be touring the world, performing a one-woman show about Dickens' women. Accompanying the show is a book that builds on the script and delves even further into the female characters. Dickens' writing bursts with life in his portrayal of Mrs Pipchin, a "marvellous ill-favoured, ill-conditioned old lady, of a stooping figure, with a mottled face, like bad marble, a hook nose, and a hard grey eye, that looked as if it might have been hammered at on an anvil without sustaining any injury."
