Introduction
The life of Charles Dickens is as fascinating and picturesque as one of his own novels. Born in humble circumstances and thrown presently into abject poverty, he nevertheless became famous while still a very young man; before he had reached middle age he was the best known novelist in Europe; and when he died, not yet an old man, he was mourned all over the world. Perhaps not the least charming thing about him was his unaffected and sincere delight in his own popularity. He loved his public almost as if they had been his children, and in the very height of his career was as sensitive to praise and blame as any boy. He never grew conceited, he never forgot or despised the surroundings and people he had known in his youth; and perhaps just for this reason he retained to the end the same keen pleasure in his success.
