At the start of the narrative, Hughes introduces the reader to his pilgrimage with a fellow Dickens enthusiast, aiming to visit significant sites related to Dickens's life and works. The author reflects on the literary contributions that have detailed Dickens's "Dickens-Land" while setting out to create a personal experience that intertwines historical facts, engaging anecdotes, and the scenery of Kent.
