About Author :-

John Huffam Charles Dickens was born February 7, 1812 in Portsmouth, England. He moved with his family in London and, later, in Chatham, Kent, where he had many happy childhood experiences. His father was a well-paid committed in the Navy pay office, but he has been extravagant and wasteful with his money. Finally, he ended up in debtors prison, and Charles was forced to leave school and work in a factory, an experience that has left scars. Although he hated his brief foray into the working class, experience, know him with the struggles and poverty level or below, and he won a sympathy for those who appeared in his later works. After his father's release from prison, he returned to school briefly, but left at the age of 15 years. After briefly working for two law firms, he learned shorthand and became a court reporter, who gave him legal knowledge he later used in her novels. He was in love with Maria Beadnell, a woman who will haunt him for years after their case because it cooled regarded as his family and prospects unsatisfactory. She briefly reentered his life years later, an experience that has proved disappointing and disillusioning Dickens.
