The character Little Dorrit (Amy) was inspired by Mary Ann Cooper (née Mitton), whom Dickens sometimes visited along with her family, and called by that name.[1] They lived in The Cedars, a house on Hatton Road west of London; its site is now under the east end of London Heathrow Airport.[2] This model for Little Dorrit, and the development of the plot, is contested by others.
