1 Dickens (1812-1870) was born in Portsmouth, a port city in the United Kingdom. My father served as a civilian in the Naval Quartermaster and was well-to-do. At the age of 5, Dickens moved to Chatham with his family, often playing with his little friends as soldiers, watching sailboats and parades in naval ship repairs. 2 Dickens in infancy was weak and sick, but love to study, “Robinson Crusoe” “Arabian Nights” and so greatly inspired his imagination. At the age of 10, due to debt problems, his father was jailed and his family was in such a dilemma that Dickens had to shoulder the burden of living. He started to work as an apprentice in a shoe-shoe workshop and, thanks to his skillful packaging, he was placed in the window by his employer and performed in public as part of a commercial ad placement.
