was a famous English novelist, one of the best known in world literature, and the master of the Victorian era.

Charles Dickens was born on February 7, 1812, in Landport district, located in the city of Portsmouth, son of John Dickens (1786-1851), Secretary-Treasurer of the Navy arsenal in the port of Portsmouth, and wife Elizabeth Barrow (1889-1863). In 1814, the family moved to London, Somerset House, at number ten on 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 lose. Charles received no education until the age of nine years, he was later approached the review, given their training in excess thereof. At this age, after attending a school in Rome Lane, studied culture at William Gile, a graduate in Oxford. He spent his time away from home, reading voraciously. He showed a particular fondness for the picaresque novels such as The Adventures of Roderick Random and The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle by Tobias Smollett and Henry Fielding Tom Jones. This would be your favorite writer. I also read with relish adventure novels like Robinson Crusoe and Don Quixote. In 1823, he lived with his family in London, at 16 Bayham Street, Camden Town, which was then one of the poorest suburbs of the city.
