Descripción
Ten pound sterling (£10 GBP) bank note. Portrait of Charles Dickens (right) and a cricket match Dingley Dell against Muggleton, from the Pickwick Papers 1836 (left).
In 1861 Spiers and Pond wrote to the famous novelist Charles Dickens, who had recently conducted a successful reading tour of the United States, and offered him £10,000 to undertake a tour of Australia. Dickens never replied. Had he done so, the first English cricket tour of Australia might have been delayed for some years.
