Charles Dickens was born on February 7, 1812 and was a leading novelist of his age, both in his lifetime and beyond it. His most famous works include Great Expectations, David Copperfield, Oliver Twist and A Tale Of Two Cities. He died in 1870 and is buried in Westminster Abbey, where the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall will lay a wreath today in more birthday celebrations.
