On 7 February 2012 it is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Dickens.  Dickens was the most popular writer of the Victorian age and brought us many great novels such as Great Expectations, Oliver Twist and A Christmas Carol which have been made into films, plays, musicals and television dramas.   

If you want to learn more about his interesting life or borrow one of our child-friendly versions of his stories, come into Hastings library and check out our display in the children's section.
