A great introductory read for the kids (and I am just a big kid!) about, arguably, the world's greatest writer.

It is just the sort of book, written in such a way, that it would entice children to perhaps have a look at some of the material Dickens wrote.

As are all Ladybird books, it is also very informative and gives plenty of background into Dickens' life and writings.

I love Charles Dickens and I loved this! Another excellent account of a great life by the Dynamic Duo, the Batman & Robin of Ladybird Books: Du Garde Peach and Kenney. The author was clearly a Dickens fan. It’s made me feel eager to read the books I’ve not yet got round to, and to visit some of the Dickens sites in Kent.

I thought the book itself was very nice, and the information was decent. The illustrations were beautiful, but they seemed very positive, whereas the subject they were illustrating were quite negative, so they didn’t quite fit.

What a terrible little book. I picked it up as a gift for a little cousin, but decided against giving it in the end. Firstly, because of the way it's written. Secondly, i don't think its entirely accurate, and finally, because of the illustrations, which suggest that yhongs were better than they actually were. I usually like these small books on history, but this one falls short on every mark.

As a child I really enjoyed reading these Ladybird history books. It was probably these books that first inspired my life long interest in history. It was almost 60 years ago when I first read this book. The format of all the books is the same. they are all 50 pages long, with a page of text accompanied by a full page illustration. The illustrations by John Kenney are superb, and what makes these books so special. Even after 60 years, I remember clearly the pictures in this book. Reading it again after all these years, obviously, this is a book written for children.. As such it only really gives a thumb nail sketch of the life of Dickens. Some of the pages simply describe what life was like in early Victorian England. The pictures also quite often illustrate scenes from Dickens novels such as David Copperfield or Nicholas Nickleby. But learning in detail about the complex life of Dickens is not the point of this book. For me, at the age of 67, the point is the sheer joy I get from seeing the illustrations again and reminding me of the thrill it gave me when I first read it all those years ago. So for people of a certain age, this is a not-to-be- missed nostalgia trip.
