I was interested in the line "the ghost of Dirty Dick is still in search of little Nell", I didn´t really find out what it means, although I read Charles Dickens´ "Old curiosity shop"(not in English but in German)(great book) where Little Nell is the main charakter.
Does anybody know what relation Charles Dickens had to Edinburgh, because I couldn´t find out yet.
Edinburugh was a fairly cultural city in Dickens time as to was London, part of the British Empires' greatest cities, it also attracted engineers, philosphers, doctors lawyers, etc and also novelist and romantics. C Dickens was one of them i'd imagine.
