Dickens at 200
Throughout 2012, Manchester Libraries have been celebrating "Dickens at 200" with a series of events and promotional initiatives, culminating in their involvement in the Manchester Literary Festivals "Dickens Day" in October.
To bring to a close the celebration of Dickens at 200 the Manchester Library and Information Service would like budding writers everywhere to complete a ghost story.
The competition is open to entrants aged 16 and over and winning entries will receive a Charles Dickens 200th Anniversary Collection DVD Set.
