WHAT THE DICKENS?

• Dickens combed his hair hundreds of times a day. He also constantly rearranged furniture in his home—if it wasn’t in the “correct” position, he couldn’t concentrate.
• Dickens was a devotee of mesmerism, a system of healing through hypnotism. He practiced it on his hypochondriac wife and his children, and claimed to have healed several friends and associates.
