Then one that starts with B:

Start with A and end with Z!

Hans Christian Andersen (it's that man again) was an early guest at Charles Dickens's newly-purchased second home, a mansion in rural Kent called Gad's Hill, where Dickens and his growing family could escape from the stresses of London when they needed to. Andersen had arranged to come for two weeks but stayed for five, and he was apparently a very annoying guest with all kinds of peculiar habits, whose eventual departure was greeted with a heartfelt sigh of relief by the whole family.
