Author
Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens was born in 1812 and grew up in poverty. This experience influenced ‘Oliver Twist’, the second of his fourteen major novels, which first appeared in 1837. When he died in 1870, he was buried in Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey as an indication of his huge popularity as a novelist, which endures to this day.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I read the edition illustrated by Robert Ingpen and was disappointed. There is no plot, just a weird list of what can be found in the tree: toys, sweets, and ghost stories, and, finally, a page alluding to the story of the Christ child. Maybe a scholar or fan of Dickens would get more out of the text. Maybe someone with better eyes would get more out of the pictures. I did not enjoy this.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5An oddly meandering reflection, but worth a read if only for the passage on his fear of "the mask."
