About the Author

Charles Dickens was the most popular writer of the Victorian era. He lived from 1812 to 1870 and his novels, as well as containing some of literature's best-loved and most iconic characters, reflect the social climate of the time. His popularity has meant his novels have never been out of print. Originally published in serial format they contain many cliff-hangers and their episodic nature and storytelling genius naturally translate to the audio format.

Martin Jarvis is famous for his audiobook readings and narration. He reads Just William, Billy Bunter and Wodehouse series for CSA WORD.
