and by "dum dum da dum" are you referring to the "here comes the bride" wedding march? because that was actually Wagner. Mendelssohn wrote the march that's usually played as the wedding postlude and which is even harder to translate into "da"s. I'll stop posting annoying comments on your blog now. Or will I?!?!?!
In his will, Dickens specifically directed that there be no monument or memorial erected in his honor by his family and friends, since he preferred that he be remembered through his published works alone.
Unfortunately (or fortunately, as it later turned out), Frank Elwell, the sculptor who designed and cast the beautiful grouping of Dickens and Little Nell was not aware of this restrictive clause in Dickens's will, thus the statue came into being without the blessing of the Dickens estate and heirs.
