Book Description
My name is Charles, which is the true story of a boy whose life went from pure bliss. To loss, sadness, and danger in a flash of time. When Charles was three years old, his five-year-old sister Jackie, became his surrogate mother, until Jackie's untimely death in a car crash at age fifteen. Charles was thirteen at the time of Jackie's death. His parents were never around to guide him from childhood to adulthood. After his sister's death, his parents moved Charles to California, to start a new life in the San Francisco Bay Area. Where his childhood life of horror began he was fighting for his life or running for his life for the next five years. No phone, no tv, radio or mailing address. The schools Charles attended listed him as a transient child. His childhood ended at fourteen years of age. No, Friday night football games, no school dances, no girlfriends and did not go to the Prom which he found out the girl he adored was prom queen. He had to think and act like an adult to survive in the dangerous environment he was living in. When he was not fighting or running, he was begging for food at the grocery store. If not for his unending goal to return to Pueblo, Colorado to be with his girlfriend, Charles would not be alive to tell his story.

Book Description
It is impossible to overstate the importance of British novelist CHARLES DICKENS (1812-1870) not only to literature in the English language, but to Western civilization on the whole. He is arguably the first fiction writer to have become an international celebrity. He popularized episodic fiction and the cliffhanger, which had a profound influence on the development of film and television. He is entirely responsible for the popular image of Victorian London that still lingers today, and his characters-from Oliver Twist to Ebenezer Scrooge, from Miss Havisham to Uriah Heep-have become not merely iconic, but mythic. But it was his stirring portraits of ordinary people-not the upper classes or the aristocracy-and his fervent cries for social, moral, and legal justice for the working poor, and in particular for poor children, in the grim early decades of the Industrial Revolution that powerfully impacted social concerns well into the 20th century. Without Charles Dickens, we may never have seen the likes of Sherlock Holmes, Upton Sinclair, or even Bob Dylan. Here, in 30 beautiful volumes-complete with all the original illustrations-is every published word written by one of the most important writers ever. The essential collector's set will delight anyone who cherishes English literature...and who takes pleasure in constantly rediscovering its joys. This volume contains the tales of Christmas Dickens published in his own magazines, Household Words and All the Year Round, in the 1850 and 1860s, including: "The Seven Poor Travellers," "The Holly-tree Inn," "The Haunted House," "The Schoolboy's Story," "A Message from the Sea," "What Christmas Is as We Grow Older," and others.
