In 1831 he became a newspaper reporter. Soon he started writing short stories for magazines !. In Dickens’ time, novels were often published in parts in magazines: every week or month a part of the story appeared in the magazine. This continued for many months until the story was finished. A lot of people bought the magazines to read the story. In 1836 Dickens’ first novel?, The Pickwick Papers, was published in monthly parts. Dickens finished The Pickwick Papers in 1837 when Victoria became queen. His first novel was a big success. Dickens married Catherine Hogarth in April 1836. They had ten children. In his life Dickens met many people: young and old, rich and poor, happy and miserable *. He wrote about them in his novels.

At the inn, Oliver had bread, ham * and something to drink. ‘I feel better,’ said Oliver. The boy smiled and asked, ‘Are you going to London?’ ‘Yes,’ answered Oliver. ‘Do you want a place to sleep?’ ‘Oh, yes please,’ said Oliver. ‘I slept outside in the cold for seven nights.’ ‘Stay with me! I know an old man in London.

He and Oliver went up some broken stairs. They entered a dark, dirty room. There were a lot of young boys. There was an ugly old man near the fire. He had red hair and a red beard. He wore dirty clothes. He smiled at Oliver and said, ‘I’m happy to meet you. I’m Fagin.’ Oliver looked at all the handkerchiefs hanging in the room. Fagin said, ‘We washed them. Now sit down and eat some sausages ?.’ Oliver was happy to eat some hot food in a warm room. He soon fell asleep. The next morning Oliver woke up late. Fagin prepared a cup of coffee. He turned around and looked at Oliver. Oliver closed his eyes and didn’t move. Fagin thought, ‘Oliver is still asleep.’ So he took a box from a secret place in the floor.
