A previously unseen pair of highly personal and private lockets exchanged between Charles Dickens and his sister-in-law are set to go on display in London next month.
The author was 23 when he met his future wife Catherine Hogarth, then 19, in Fulham, west London in 1835.
At the same time, he was also introduced to her two sisters, Mary, who was 14, and Georgina, who was six.
Some speculate Mary became the true love of his life and the inspiration behind some of his most famous characters, with Charles giving Mary a locket containing a stand of his own hair.
She tragically died just three years later, and Georgina gave Dickens a similar pendant with Mary s hair inside in 1837. Both are set to go on display at the Charles Dickens Museum next month.
