Throughout his life he worked to stop the suffering of the poor, especially chidren. He was a Great supporter of education and schools for the poor.

Charles Dickens first became a journalist. Then he started to write novels. He became famous at the age of 24 with his first novel, The Pickwick Papers. Perhaps his most famous and best-loved novel is A Christmas Carol.

Dickens died on the 9th of June, 1870. It says on Dickens’ grave in Poet’s Corner, Westminster Abbey in London：

‘He was a sympathizer to the poor, the suffering, and the oppressed ; and by his death, one of England’s greatest writers is lost to the world.’
