Hi guys,Today we celebrate the 200 anniversary of Charles Dickens birth. As you well know, Charles Dickens was a English writer, author of many important books as you can see in the image.
Charles John Huffan Dickens was born on the 7th of February 1812 in Landport (England).
Dickens attended private school for a time, after the family recolocated to London.
Later, Charles started working at Warren's Blacking Warehouse. He earned six shillings a week and worked 10 hours day. Some have wondered if some books like 'Oliver Twist' or ' Christmas carol' were inspired by the time he spent there.
Then, Dickens entered a career in law, working as a clerk and in 1834, he would start writing political journalism, using the pen-name 'Boz'.
In 1836 he got married and he travelled to America and Canada with his wife after spending time en New York. He died in 1870.
Some of most important books he wrote are:
