BUY Charles Dickens
Discover the life of Charles Dickens, the influential author.
When Charles was a boy he made up his own adventures. But after a Dickensian twist of fate saw his father go to prison for debt, Charles ended up working in a factory with other children. He worked his way out, trying his hand in a law firm, and then as an actor, before making a name for himself as a reporter and gifted storyteller.
Charles became one of the most beloved novelists of all time, aware of the power of a tale and of giving poor children a voice.
