Charles Dickens is one of the most famous British authors in the world. He was born in Portsmouth England in 1812.
Charles was the second of eight children. His family was very poor so at the age of 12 he went to work at a blacking warehouse. As a young boy he enjoyed reading and going to the theatre which helped him develop his imagination.
Dickens was able to leave the factory he worked in and continued his studies at the Wellington House Academy. He taught himself shorthand and started work as a journalist at the age of sixteen. He continued to read at the library and also participated in theatre performances as an actor or stage manager.
Dickens published a lot of articles and sketches in magazines. Within a few years he was considered one of the most successful authors of his time. In 1836 he married Catherine Hogarth. Dickens published his novels such as Oliver Twist and Nicholas Nickleby in monthly installments. He also travelled to the USA and Europe. His travels changed his style of writing. David Copperfield. A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations reflect this change.
Dickentasks health got worse in the 1860s. He died on June 9,1870. He is one of the most widely read novelists and his characters remain the most popular.
