Description The exceptional story of one of Britain's greatest novelists and orators Charles Dickens... It traces the career of Dickens - along with
a gallery of 49 of his best-loved characters - from the foggy streets of 19th century London to the feverish and literary tours of England and America, which eventually cost
Dickens his life.
