February 2012 marks the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Dickens and will be marked by international events to celebrate his life and works. Not only a much-loved writer, Dickens is also fascinating to family historians for the insight he gives into the social conditions of his time. His own life also provides much interest, being as eventful as many of his novels. We have put together a collection of works on Dickens' life and times, which bring to life one of Britain’s most popular authors.
