Charles Dickens: 20 books about his life

As the bicentennial of Charles Dickens approaches, here's a list of 20 books about his life, for readers of all ages.

19. 'The Haunting of Charles Dickens,' by Lewis Buzbee, illustrated by Greg Ruth

In Lewis Buzbee's book for readers ages 10 to 14, it's 1862 in London, and Meg Pickel's older brother Orion has disappeared. Unable to sleep, Meg slips out one night to look for him and stumbles upon famous author Charles Dicken, out for a walk in London's darkened streets because he, too, cannot sleep. The two team up to search for Orion and offer readers the pleasure of following them through text and black-and-white illustrations that do a marvelous job of recreating Dickens' London.
