About the Monterey Fellowship
The Monterey Peninsula Dickens Fellowship was founded February 7, 1991, and was chartered by London headquarters in April of 1992. It is one of 59 worldwide branches of the Fellowship. The Monterey branch holds monthly meetings from September to May, discussing a single book each year. Meetings are often potluck affairs, and the “Fellowship” part of our name is as important as the “Dickens” part. Please join us!
We Read Real Books!
We’re a book club with a difference. We focus on Dickens’s novels–longer books with larger themes, messages, and questions. We also delve into how Dickens’s work informs our lives today.
