Warren’s well-researched and accessible biography recounts the history of child labor in England and the experience of one twelve-year-old shoe polish laborer—Charles Dickens—in particular. Dickens was forced into factory work for a year when his father was in debtors’ prison; the experience had a profound and lasting impact on him, as is evident throughout his writing. Ages 10-12.
