About the author

Born in Portsmouth, England, in 1812, Charles Dickens drew deeply on early hardship, including a period when his father was imprisoned for debt and Dickens worked in a blacking factory as a boy. Those experiences shaped the sympathy for children, workers, and the poor that runs through much of his writing.

He first found wide success with The Pickwick Papers and went on to write some of the best-known novels in English, including Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol, David Copperfield, Bleak House, A Tale of Two Cities, and Great Expectations. Alongside his fiction, he worked as a journalist and magazine editor, and he became famous for his energetic public readings.

Dickens died in 1870, but his influence has never faded. Readers still return to him for his vivid characters, memorable storytelling, and fierce attention to injustice, all delivered with warmth, comedy, and emotional force.
