  6. Charles John Huffam Dickens was an English novelist. Charles Dickens was born at Landport, in Portsea. He was born in 1812, and he died in 1870. Dickens enjoyed wide popularity, and now too. I only read Olvier Twist, but I love it, it´s an interesting book, I recommend it. I haven´t see the film but I think that sure, it´s incredible. The songs are very good :)

  11. hi cristina
    this text is a biography of charles
    DICKENS, CHARLES JOHN HUFFAM (1812—1870), English novelist, was born on the 7th of February 1812 at a house in the Mile End Terrace, Commercial Road, Landport (Portsea)—a house which was opened as a Dickens Museum on 22nd July 2904. His father John Dickens (d. 1851), a clerk in the navy-pay office on a salary of £80 a year, and stationed for the time being at Portsmouth, had married in 1809 Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Barrow, and she bore him a family of eight children, Charles being the second. In the winter of 1814 the family moved from Portsea in the snow, as he remembered, to London, and lodged for a time near the Middlesex hospital. The country of the novelist’s childhood, however, was the kingdom of Kent, where the family was established in proximity to the dockyard at Chatham from 1816 to 1821. He looked upon himself in later years as a man of Kent, and his capital abode as that in Ordnance Terrace, or 18 St Mary’s Place, Chatham, amid surroundings classified in Mr Pickwick’s notes as “ appearing “to be soldiers, sailors, Jews, chalk, shrimps, officers and dockyard men. He fell into a family the general tendency of which was to go down in the world, during one of its easier periods (John Dickens was now fifth clerk on £250 a year), and he always regarded himself as belonging by right to a comfortable, genteel, lower middleclass stratum of society. His mother taught him to read; to his father he appeared very early in the light of a young prodigy, and by him Charles was made to sit on a tall chair and warble popular ballads, or even to tell stories and anecdotes for the benefit of fellow-clerks in the office.

  18. hi cristina!!!! i am write about your blog the poscard charles dickens its very good writer the books a gran famous book its a oliver twist hes biographi its this:

    Dickens was born on February 7, 1812, in the district of Landport, belonging to the city of Portsmouth, son of John Dickens (1786-1851), clerk of the Paymaster of the Navy in the arsenal of Portsmouth Harbour and its wife Elizabeth Barrow (1789-1863). In 1814, the family moved to London, Somerset House, at number ten in Norfolk Street. When the future writer was five, the family moved to Chatham, Kent. His mother was middle class and his father always dragged debts due to his excessive inclination to waste. Charles received no education until the age of nine years, which later critics reproached him, considering his training over self. At this age, after attending a school in Rome Lane, studied culture in the school of William Giles, a graduate of Oxford. Time spent away from home, reading voraciously. He showed a particular fondness for the picaresque novels as The Adventures of Roderick Random and The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle Tobias Smollett and Henry Fielding's Tom Jones. This would be his favorite writer. I also read with relish adventure stories like Robinson Crusoe and Don Quixote. In 1823, lived with his family in London, at 16 Bayham Street, Camden Town, which was then one of the poorest suburbs of the city. Although his first
