Charles Dickens was born in 1812. He lived in the south of England when he was a little boy. His father worked in an office. He was a very clever man, but he was very poor. Charles had many brothers and sisters, but he did not often play with them. His father had many books and Charles liked to read them. He learned to read very early. When Charles was 10 years old, his family went to London. There his fathe got into debt (as he had little money) and then into debtor "s prison. So little Charles began to work when he was ten.That was the beginning of Charles "hard life.

Charles Dickens was born in 1812. As a child, he lived in the south of England. His father worked in an office. He was a very smart but very poor man. Charles had many brothers and sisters, but he rarely played with them. His father had a large library and Charles loved to read. He learned to read early. When Charles was ten years old, his family moved to London. There, his father went into debt (because he had little money) and then went to a debt prison. Therefore, little Charles started working at the age of ten. This was the beginning of Charles's hard life.

He worked at a small factory in London, pasting labels on blacking bottles. He had to work in a dirty room with no windows. He did not like his work, but he had to work at the factory for two years. Then he went to school for three years, but he did not learn much at school. He learned much at home, from his father and from other clever people. Later he worked as a reporter to the Parliament and became a writer of short stories. In 1837 he published his first novel "The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club". And the young reporter became a famous writer. Then he published novel after novel - "Oliver Twist", "Dombey and Son", "David Copperfield" and many other good books.

In London, he worked in a small factory where he pasted labels on bottles of wax. He had to work in a dirty room with no windows. He didn't like the job, but he worked at the factory for two years. Then he went to school for three years, but there he learned little. He learned much more at home, from his father and other smart people. He later worked as a parliamentary reporter and began writing stories. In 1837 he published his first novel, The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club. And after that, the young reporter became a famous writer. Then he published novels one after another - "Oliver Twist", "Dombey and Son", "David Copperfield" and many other books.

His books are very interesting, they teu us aoout the hard life of the poor people in England of that time. When we read his books, we sometimes laugh, but we often want to cry. Charles Dickens died in 1870. He is one of the greatest novelists in the English literature. Dickens lived more than a hundred years ago, but people in the whole world like to read his books today, because in his books he showed a real world and people of Victorian England.
