	Dickens was born in {{Wiki\|Portsmouth}}, the second of eight children.

To help pay off his father's debt, Charles was forced to leave school and begin work at Warren's Blacking Warehouse, a place that was notorious for its poor treatment of children. Not a crèche to be seen. Yet even after his father's debt was cleared, young Charles's mother suggested he continue to work: "I never afterwards forgot, I never shall forget, I never can forget," he said, "that my mother was warm for my being sent back."
