Alison Larkin is the AudioFIle Earphones award winning narrator of over 150 audiobooks, an internationally acclaimed comedienne and the bestselling author of The English American, a novel.

Barrie, Pride and Prejudice: With Songs from Regency England, Emma, and Persuasion and Poems by Jane Austen, The Princess and the Goblin by George Macdonald, and Alice in Wonderland and Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll with a short excerpt from the Life and Letters of Lewis Carroll.

    Author

    Charles Dickens

    Charles Dickens was born in 1812 near Portsmouth, where his father worked as a clerk. Living in London in 1824, Dickens was sent by his family to work in a blacking-warehouse, and his father was arrested and imprisoned for debt. Fortunes improved and Dickens returned to school, eventually becoming a parliamentary reporter. His first piece of fiction was published by a magazine in December 1832, and by 1836 he had begun his first novel, The Pickwick Papers. He focused his career on writing, completing fourteen highly successful novels, as well as penning journalism, shorter fiction and travel books. He died in 1870.
