200th Birthday of Charles Dickens


Today is the 200th birthday of Charles Dickens, the greatest novelist in English literature. He tirelessly wrote all his life and created some of the most famous characters in literature including Ebenezer Scrooge, the Fagin, Samuel Pickwick, Oliver Twist, Wilkins Micawber and many more. Global celebrations are being planned on the occasion of the great writer’s 200th birthday and wreaths would be laid on the author’s grave in the Poet’s Corner at Westminster Abbey. A 24 hours ‘readathon’ will take place in many countries where reading of Dickens’ books will mark the occasion. Charles Dickens remains and would remain as a source of inspiration for millions of readers all over the world. His legacy will remain as long as there is English literature.
