The BBC will be running a series of programs about the great British writer Charles Dickens, most likely the first writer who might come to mind when one thinks of the classic Christmas celebration. He was a writer with a tremendous grasp of the underbelly of life in the Victorian era, his characters are archetypes of mischief, childhood unhappiness and trials. Many of which he likely experienced himself. Like any great writer, his characters breathe within the pages of his books, which puts him in the same class as Shakespeare in many respects. Say to yourself: "Artful Dodger", "Oliver Twist", most people in the western world will immediately understand what you mean.
Check out the programs coming up around Christmas and into January.
