HAPPY 199TH BIRTHDAY TO CHARLES DICKENS


     It was on a Friday, on the seventh day of the month of February, in the year of our Lord 1812, that Charles John Huffam Dickens was born.
     Dickens would go on to become an accomplished English novelist. His novels contained social commentary about those who were part of the underbelly of Victorian society (i.e. the poor, orphans).
     Many of his novels have been adapted to the motion picture screen.
