The New York Times Book ReviewThe extraordinary life and genius of Charles Dickens is brought alive for primaryage children by the authorillustrator team behind the bestselling What Mr Darwin Saw.Published to celebrate the bicentenary of Dickens' birth, this beautifully and entertainingly illustrated 48 page picture book vividly dramatizes his life, beginning with his birth in Portsmouth and early childhood near the docks in Chatham, and follows the young Charles through the hardship of working in a blacking factory at the age of 10 to his years at school and his early career as a reporter.
