Charles Dickens is probably England's most popular author. He was born in Portsmouth, England in 1812. He started attending school at the age of nine, but was forced to leave when he was 12 because his father had been put in prison for getting into debt after carelessly spending his money.

At the age of 15, Dickens started to work as a clerk. Then he was given a better-paid job as a law court reporter, because he could write quickly.

With these books, Dickens continued to describe the poor conditions that the working classes and poor people had to live under. He hoped that by doing so, things could change for the better but the situation just seemed to get worse.

In 1860, Dickens wrote one of his most popular stories, Great Expectations, the story of a young boy, with no money, who aspired to become rich one day. Perhaps Dickens was thinking about his own early life when deciding on the topic of the story.

On 8th June, 1870, having spent the day working on what was to be his last novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood , Dickens suddenly fell down at the dinner table and died the next evening.
