A community portal about Charles Dickens with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Charles John Huffam Dickens FRSA, pen-name " Boz ", was an English novelist. During his career Dickens achieved massive worldwide popularity, winning acclaim for his rich storytelling and memorable characters. Considered one of the English language's greatest writers, he was the foremost novelist of the Victorian era as well as a vigorous social campaigner.
After years of writing feverishly, Charles Dickens desperately needed a break from his demanding schedule and money to finance a year abroad.
England's best-known author hoped "A Christmas Carol," a tale about ghosts haunting the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, would be his ticket to a yearlong Italian vacation for him, his wife, five children and servants.
