Father of Ten, Author of Twenty



On this day in eighteen hundred and seventy

The greatest English author there's ever been

Died of a stroke at the very tender age of fifty-eight

After thirty-five years of writing the best novels to date  



Defining the novel for many generations yet to come

TheDickensonian characters were resplendently done

Clearly defined, beautifully etched, and so very bright

Providing social relevance and psychological insight
