Charles Dickens Miniature Sheet


In his own words

The striking Miniature Sheet comprises four First Class stamps bearing illustrations by Hablot Knight Brown, aka Phiz, taken from the original publications. It also has a quote from Dickens in its border, together with his key dates and a facsimile of his signature.

"No one who can read, ever looks at a book,
even unopened on a shelf, like one who cannot."
