Tuesday 7th February marks the 200th anniversary of Charles Dickens birth. The newspapers have been full of articles about Charles Dickens and televission programmes have brought us adaptations of some of his books as well as prorammes about his life. Many people consider him second only to William Shakespeare in terms of his contribution to English literature, a great many more disagree! To mark the anniversary of his birth there is a display in the Library of books by, and about, Charles Dickens.
