Dickens' Gad's Hill Chalet (Set of Two)

From The Dickens' Village Series  This two-story Swiss chalet represents the one sent to Charles Dickens as a token of friendship from French actor Charles Fechter.  Painted in warm brown it had one room on each floor, a small balcony and the atmosphere of a tree house for grown-up children.   The chalet could be reached through a tunnel under the road, giving private access to what became Dickens’ writing retreat.  A retreat where Dickens wrote “Great Expectations”.
