Written by Charles Dickens

Narrated by Andrew Minter

Charles Dickens was an English novelist whose characters are among the most memorable in English literature. Each of his major novels appeared in several forms usually starting with an initial publication in periodical form, then collected into a first edition book, followed by a Cheap edition, a Library edition, and a final Charles Dickens edition. Despite important corrections made in subsequent printings, the accumulation of printers errors makes the first editions the best versions of his texts.

Charles Dickens

An international celebrity during his lifetime, Charles Dickens (1812­–1870) is widely regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His classic works include A Christmas Carol, Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Great Expectations, and A Tale of Two Cities, one of the bestselling novels of all time. When Dickens was twelve years old, his father was sent to debtors’ prison, and the boy was forced to work in a boot-blacking factory to support his family. The experience greatly shaped both his fiction and his tireless advocacy for children’s rights and social reform.
