    About this audiobook

    Charles Dickens saw his fictional work in print for the first time in 1833 when he was only twenty-one. It was a story called “Mr Minns and his Cousin” and was published in the Morning Chronicle. He wrote more tales and sketches for newspapers and magazines which were collected and published in book form in two series in 1836 as “Sketches by Boz”.

    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.
