Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens was born in 1812. When he was twelve, his father was sent to a debtor’s prison and he was sent to work; the experiences from this time always haunted him. After a brief career as a reporter Dickens began writing novels. Published in serial form, his work grew rapidly in popularity, beginning with The Pickwick Papers.
Today, Charles Dickens is one of the most recognized celebrities of English literature. His many books include Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, and A Christmas Carol.
