Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens is one of England’s most famous writers. He lived from 1812 to 1870 and he wrote fifteen major novels and lots of short stories. There are over 180 TV and film adaptations of his books. Some of his most famous books are Oliver Twist, Great Expectations and David Copperfield.

Dickens was born in Portsmouth in the south of England, but the family moved to London when he was ten years old. He had a difficult childhood. His father spent a long time in prison and Charles had to work in a factory from the age of twelve. Later his family received money from his father’s family and their life became better. Charles studied law but he hated it and became a journalist. This was when he started writing his books.

Dickens’ books are wonderful pictures of life in the big city of London at that time and are full of amazing characters. These characters are often very sad and very funny at the same time. Dickens wrote about poor people a lot and he wanted to show what life was like for them, so his characters’ lives are not very happy. But Dickens’ way of writing is very clever and funny and the characters can make us laugh!

Charles Dickens had ten children but his marriage wasn’t very happy. He died in 1870 and is buried in Westminster Abbey. Some people say he was one of the greatest writers in history. It is certainly true that his books are as interesting today as they were when he first wrote them.

Looking forward to hearing about your week!
