Happy 200th Birthday, Charles Dickens!!
Today is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles John Huffam Dickens, who needs very little, if any introduction. A Victorian writer who was well-known and well-read even during his lifetime, no small feat at the time, Dickens has remained popular to this day, and is regarded as one of the Great Writers of all time.
At his death at age 58, he had written many well-known novels, plays, serials, poetry and short story collections. Many film adaptations and related works have come about since his death, and his life and works are even celebrated in several Dickens festivals around the world.
