CHARLES DICKENS (1812-1870)
Charles Dickens is a famous writer in the English language. He wrote about the
real world of England and many of the people in his books were not rich, but poor and
hungry.
Charles Dickenss family lived in London and his father worked in an office. It was
a good job, but he always spent a lot of money and often there was no money to buy food.
There were eight children in the family, so life was hard.
Charles went to school and his teachers thought he was very clever. But when
Charles was only eleven, his father lost all his money and the family left their house.
Charles got a job washing bottles. He worked ten hours a day and he earned six shillings
(30p) a week. Every night, after work, he walked four miles back to his room. Charles
hated it and never forgot it. He used it in many books, for example David Copperfield and
Oliver Twist.
