As a young boy Charles Dickens (1812-1870) would climb with his sister, Fanny, onto the dining table of the Mitre Inn, Rochester, and sing some of Tom Moore's 'Irish Medoldies'. His novels are interspersed with references to the Meodies. As a young parliamentary reporter Dickens recorded Daniel O'Connell, the Irish Liberator, and they retained a certain mutual admiration throughout their lives. Dickens had many Irish friends including Daniel Maclise, the painter, and Percy Fitzgerald who wrote for his weekly journals Household Words (1850-1858) and All the Year Around (1859 until his death).
