Join the original Gossip Girl, Annie Adams Fields, as she spills the beans on her famous literary friends this holiday season, including the "Father of Christmas," Charles Dickens! Mrs. Fields has incredible influence on literary decisions at Ticknor and Fields Publishing House (the forerunner to Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company) and a great ear for gossip! Counting Nathaniel Hawthorne, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow amongst her closest friends, she witnessed a great deal of Victorian revelry at her waterside museum in Beacon Hill. No short of a Gossip Girl, Mrs. Fields wrote about her guests’ embarrassing moments in her novel Authors and Friends (1896) and shares them with you! This intimate teatime conversation is filled with laughter and disbelief, and even some blushing cheeks, when you hear the tantalizing tales of the Victorian Gossip Girl!
Running time: 45 Minutes
