Charles Dickens |
He went to a good school and he was an excellent student. But when he was 12 years old, his father went to prison, because he owed a lot of money to other people. All Charles' family went to live in the prison apart from Charles. Charles went to live with a family friend called Mrs Roylance and he worked 10 hours every day at a shoe polish factory.

When he left school, Charles worked in an office. He left after a year and a half because he wanted to be a reporter.
His first novel, The Pickwick Papers, was published in March 1836, but it wasn't in a book. It was in a magazine. In 1836 he got married and he and his wife, Catherine, had ten children. In his life he published lots of novels, short stories, plays and non-fiction books too. He died in 1870.
He wrote a very famous story called a Christmas Carol.
