Charles Dickens, one of the greatest British novelists, was born on 7th February, 1812, at Landport, Portsmouth. After many vicissitudes, he became a reporter, and a series of articles \"Sketches by Boz '' which appeared in The Morning Chronicle in 1835 first brought him fame. In the same year he received a commission from Messrs. Chapman and Hall, which resulted in the immortal Pickwick Papers. These appeared in two volumes in 1837. Masterpieces which established him among the truly great artists came rapidly from his pen there-after, while he delivered a series of public readings here and in America. He died suddenly at his residence, Gads Hill Place, near Rochester om 9th June, 1870, and was buried in Westminster Abbey.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55938816704891,"sku":"10667736","price":11.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/files\/orig_492186_jpg.jpg?v=1763641826","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/charles-dickens-christmas-books-dent-1950","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
