Charles Dickens ❤❤

 Charles Dickens , born in 1812 , was the son of a clerk in a government office . His father spent more money than he earned, and charles Dickens was still a boy when his for debt. In those days , men who owed quite small amounts had to stay in prison until the debt was paid . One results was that charles's education was interrupted. Another result was that he had experience of the ununhappy life of many poor people , including children . 🙂👣👣

Dickens's characters were much better or much worse than they would be in real life . They were exaggerated in rather the same way as artists in newspaper cartoons today. But the readers of Dickens's time accepted such exaggexaggeration . They were perhaps readier to laugh or cry over the novelist 's characters and situation than we are today .🙏💚 📚  The novels of Dickens are full of life , observation and energy , and his own energy seemed endless. 

His books were popular in the English -speaking countries on both sides of the Atlantic .❤ In later years he ttravelled widely in Britain and America , reading from his books. Instead , they bought and wept over , a picture called" the empty chair " showing the desk and chair that he would no longer use.💙💙💐
