Acerca del autor

Charles Dickens was born in the year 1812 in England. Reading, music, and theater were important to his family. When he was 12 years old, his parents sent him to work in a factory. His family was sent to debtorÕs prison soon after that. Charles was on his own for several months. After this time in his life he always cared deeply for the homeless and the hungry. In his articles and his books, Dickens often wrote about the laws that pushed people deeper and deeper into poverty. One reason Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol was to encourage people to help the poor. Some of DickensÕ other well-known books are David Copperfield, A Tale of Two Cities, and Great Expectations.
