- Charles Dickens grew up in a family where his father was larger than life. The elder Dickens is a teller of tales and always seems to have ambitions that are well beyond his means or his capabilities.

He has a touch of his father in him, however, particularly when it comes to money. He is of course remembered as one of the great writers of the 19th century.
