  He lived in the south of England when he was a little boy. His father worked in an office. Charles had many brothers and sisters, but he did not often play with them. His father had many books and Charles liked to read them. He learned to read very early. When Charles was 10 years old, his family went to London. There his father got into debt (as he had little money) and then into debtor’s prison. So little Charles began to work when he was ten. That was the beginning of Charles’ hard life. He worked at a small factory in London, pasting labels on blacking bottles.

  He had to work in a dirty room with no windows. He did not like his work, but he had to work at the factory for two years. Then he went to school for three years, but he did not learn much at school. He learned much at home, from his father and from other clever people.
  Later he worked as a reporter to the Parliament and became a writer of short stories.

  In 1837 he published his first novel The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club. And the young reporter became a famous writer. Then he published novel after novel — Oliver Twist, Dombey and Son, David Copperfield and many other good books.
  His books are very interesting, they tell us about the hard life of the poor people in England of that time. When we read his books, we sometimes laugh, but we often want to cry.
