ABOUT CHARLES DICKENS
──────────────────────────────
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was sent to work in a blacking factory at twelve while his father sat in debtors' prison, and he spent the rest of his life writing about the people that England preferred not to see. He published in monthly instalments, read his own work aloud to packed halls, and shaped how the English-speaking world pictures Christmas. This app brings five of his best-loved works together in one place, with a reading interface that gets out of the way.
