Charles Dickens an amazing author who's works have lasted through time. Moved to London at a young age and seemed to live a normal childhood life until his father was imprisoned for spending beyond his means. My how life has changed, our prisons today would be full if that ruling still existed. Believe or not this amazing writer once pasted labels on shoe boxes to make a living. I wonder if the people who bought those shoes ever knew the value behind the person who had pasted a label on the shoe box. His father after receiving an inheritance was released from prison. However his mother did not request Charles back straight away and he stayed in the factory conditions. This caused Dickens to have a bad attitude towards women. However this time in the factory caused Dickens to have an interest in the reform of the unfair economic conditions of the poor of that time. I believe that this time was used to help him write such master pieces as Oliver Twist and Bleak House.
Perhaps in these small begins as so many famous people it was a time used to reflect and allow one person to impact so many peoples lives through history.
Small beginnings can lead to great things if we only allow them too.
So hold on tight and let's see what Dickens is going to serve us up on my next blog reading.
wishing you lots of tasty English Delights
There's always room for one more.
