As every year, we have the pleasure to see a performance in our school. This year, it's going to be about one of my favorite writer.  
  • Born in  Portsmouth, England in 1812.
  • He moved to Camden Town, a poor part of London at the age of 10.
  • Dickens began his career as an illustrator but the stories he wrote became far more popular than the sketches that accompanied them.
  • He is considered the greatest novelist of the Victorian era.
  • He died of a stroke in 1870.
Here is a great short animated film where I introduce you to Charles Dickens. Enjoy!

Here is a video summary of another of Dickens popular novels, A Christmas Carol:
