CHARLES DICKENS CHILDREN'S BOOK

As a child, Charles Dickens showed boundless imagination inventing his own adventures. However, his life took a drastic turn when his father was imprisoned for debt. At the age of twelve, he had to leave school to work in a factory, an experience that would profoundly mark his work. Before becoming a renowned journalist and writer, he worked as a clerk in a law firm and ventured briefly into the world of acting.

Aware of the impact of a good story, Dickens used his novels to denounce the injustices and social abuses of his time, giving voice to children and the most disadvantaged classes. Works such as "Great Expectations", "Oliver Twist" and "A Christmas Carol" reflect his social commitment and continue to move millions of readers around the world for their sensitivity and humanity.
