It is difficult to recommend a single Dickens text above any other, but [[The Christmas Books by Charles Dickens]] do provide an easily accessible contrast to Drood, being much more social in tone, yet with, in 'The Chimes', a very recognisable setting. And of course biographies of Dickens abound in this anniversary year, but [[Charles Dickens: A Life by Claire Tomalin]] is a work which explores some of the complexities of Dickens own relationships with women, and might give a clue as to how some of the themes of 'The Mystery of Edwin Drood' connect to Dickens' own life.
