All the year round. Charles Dickens, BC's legislative library, parliamentary reporting and stories.

Seasons greetings with politics and holidays. Thanks to Nicholas Guerreiro and Iona Reid for teaching us about foxing and first editions. Learning how to do shorthand, mock debate, about the Pickwick Bicycle club, annual Christmas stories, writing plays in 1836, editing magazine, reportage and comming of age. To preserve and conserve, social commentary on child labour laws, novels, novella or serially published chapters. Practing collabouration and bordering on obsession about how to keep a home. Many stories get lost to time but Nicholas Nickelby (1839) is when Charles Dickens embarks on a goal of system reform. Blinded by neglect and displaying the historical mistreatment of children and being force fed brimstone and treacle. Legistative reforms to improve the life of the poor. Bleak house is his 9th novel but widely known to be his most important work. The legal maze of the chancory and the red tape network complete with spider web illustration. Virtual programs like Democracy and Me, a Poetry contest for school age listeners in February. Keep your eyes peeled on the BC legislature website or social media education channel's for details to be involved. The second half of this episode is a story presented by green antler productions. It's Sarah Fowler reading Ian and Vladyana Kykorka's book called Carl the Chistmas Carp. A funny little fish story, and a reminder to eat your cauliflower. Merry Christmas and Happy New year. Loving holidays, big dreams and e-hugs to all the waterfowl podcast listeners our there and god bless us everyone.
