Charles Dickens - Edited

Social critic and novelist Charles Dickens -
The plot of his every book so interestingly thickens!
Not only the creator of Scrooge was he;
He revived the Christmas spirit for you and for me.

I am rather partial to Dickens and enjoyed this tribute, Andrea. (Soup mail)

A nice homage to the master of stories, that are full of even greater sentences. His sentences, in my opinion, are a work of art.

Quite at odds with his content, himself I learned Andrea some philandering was part of him and Some harshness also, still all said and done he Has lots of admirers.'

well, Kennedy was a philanderer too, and even King David! I just really admire his writing ability and how he draws you into his worlds he created. Tale of Two Cities was spectacular in its message, and he actually made Xmas popular again by writing A Christmas Carol in only 6 weeks.
