The Dickens Game (1983)

Players move from inn to inn, collecting characters to complete the 5 chapters of a Dickens novel. The rules state that the designer Mary Danby is a great-great-granddaughter of Charles Dickens. Past Times is a chain store of cod repro English history, with games usually produced for them by Oxford Games, but this is a game they've published themselves and the rules are in English, French and Japanese!
