As a small boy, Charles Dickens worked in a dark, musty London warehouse, pasting labels onto pots of boot polish.

He tried not to listen to his grumbling stomach or the rats squeaking on the stairs.

His dream was to escape that misery one day and become a fine, educated gentleman.

Through his gift for writing, that day did come for Dickens.

But he never forgot what it was like to be poor. He wrote stories about London's lower classes--tales that made people laugh, cry, and work to improve their social conditions.

By the time of his death, Charles Dickens had become one of the most popular English writers ever.

Step into nineteenth-century London and the life of Charles Dickens in this exciting book.

David R. Collins's exciting biography and David Mataya's powerful illustrations bring this master storyteller to life.
