This Day In History - 7th February (1812)

On this day a mere 210 years ago, Charles Dickens was born in Portsmouth (I didn't know that bit).

To me, my knowledge of Charles Dickens is the Novel that we studied in GCSEs - "Great Expectations", "A Christmas Carol", and of course that 2005 Doctor Who episode titled "The Unquiet Dead".

I don't remember an awful lot from school, although I do remember a Pip Pirrip(?), a prisoner and a Mrs Haversham - my memory is awful!

At the time of posting, I have one item that is based off of his work:
