Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812-1870), also known as "Boz," was the foremost English novelist of the Victorian era, as well as a vigorous social campaigner. Considered one of the English language's greatest writers, he was acclaimed for his rich storytelling and memorable characters, and achieved massive worldwide popularity in his lifetime. The popularity of his novels and short stories has meant that not one has ever gone out of print. Dickens wrote serialised novels, the usual format for fiction at the time, and each new part of his stories was eagerly anticipated by the reading public. Among his best-known works are Sketches by Boz (1836), The Pickwick Papers (1837), Oliver Twist (1838), Nicholas Nickleby (1839), Barnaby Rudge (1841), A Christmas Carol (1843), Martin Chuzzlewit (1844), David Copperfield (1850), Bleak House (1853), Little Dorrit (1857), A Tale of Two Cities (1859), Great Expectations (1861) and Our Mutual Friend (1865).

It was interesting. It's a collective work, written by Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Elizabeth Gaskell and Adelaide Anne Procter. Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins started it, very nicely. Elizabeth Gaskell wrote the next part and I like that part the least. It kind of has nothing to do with the rest of the story and Wilkie Collins had to work hard to make any sense of it :-D Adelaide Anne Procter's little poem in the middle... uh. Well. Then Dickens and Collins finish it wonderfully off. All in all, it's a very entertaining story.
