Charles Dickens is one of the best known and best loved of all English novelists. He was born in Portsmouth in 1812.

The little boy was very talented. He learnt to read at an early age and read many books in his childhood. When he was about six, he saw a play by Shakespeare* in the theatre. He was so inspired by this play, that he wrote a play himself and performed it together with his friends.

When Charles was nine years old, the family moved to London. Life was hard for poor people in London. Charles' father couldn't get any work there and little Charles, at ten, had to go to work. At twelve, Charles was sent to school again. At fifteen, he left school and became a newspaper reporter. He had worked as a reporter for a few years before his first novels were written and published. At the same time he was writing for a variety of magazines. In 1836, Charles Dickens married, published his first book and began writing his humorous novel The Pickwick Papers¹ which made him famous. In 1837, it was published and was a huge success.

Then his novels Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby, David Copperfield and many others were published one after another. His novels were set in Victorian England.* In these novels he described what he had learnt in his hard childhood. Charles Dickens gave the realistic picture of the life of English people. He was a great master of powerful and honest stories about poor people. Charles Dickens had vivid imagination and developed fabulous plots. To many people the characters of his novels seemed more real than the real characters of history.

The great writer died in 1870 at the age of fifty-eight. He was honoured by his contemporaries as a remarkable novelist. His books were translated into many languages, and they are still popular today. His birthplace is visited by many tourists. Readers in the whole world value his novels for their realism, humour, their love and sympathy for people.
