SF-Area Dickens Fair to Get a Touch of Lewis Carroll This Year

The worlds of Charles Dickens and Lewis Carroll will meet as the Great Dickens Christmas Fair returns to the Cow Palace near San Francisco. The event, similar to a Renaissance fair, transforms the venue’s exhibition halls into a re-creation of Victorian-era London.
