Charles Dickens�s biography
This text is about Charles Dickens�s life. It can explain how what he lived influenced what he wrote. I usually use it before reading Oliver Twist but it can be used for another of his novels or before studying a film or to introduce child labour. There is a separate worksheet with comprehension questions about this text.
