Charles Dickens was an English writer born on 7th February, 1812 in Portsmouth. He grew up in Kent until his father went to prison and young Dickens had to leave school and go to work. He worked in a shoe polish factory when he was only twelve years old. This experience inspired many of his novels about the terrible conditions of the English poor. Some of his best-known books are Little Dorrit (1857), David Copperfield (1850) and Oliver Twist (1839). He died at the age of 58 on 8th June, 1870. составьте кластер умоляю и перевидите этот коастер на русский
