Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens’s happy childhood came to a sudden end when his father was jailed for debt. At the age of 12, young Charles was sent to work in a factory making shoe polish…But Charles could write stories. And he wrote lots of them. Funny stories, entertaining stories, devastatingly sad stories. And soon he had the whole world at his feet, listening to his every word.
