He was Born Charles John Huffam Dickens on the 7th February 1812 at a house in Mile End Terrace, Portsmouth, Hampshire, England.
A very popular English writer whose books have apparently never gone out of print and there always seems to be a new film or TV series based on his books. If you want to check him out this is his bicentenary website
A very Happy 200th Birthday to you today Mr Dickens.

The Google thing did escape me LOL! Anyway I guess that means that your post was of use to at least one person! I do like Charles Dickens work, or at least I do in the form of a TV show, I don't think I ever read one of his books unless it was when I was at school but that was soooo... long ago now I can't recall.
I've got a whole collection of his books in a matching set!
And my blog's name A Tail of Two Cardis is a direct play on the title of his book A Tale of Two Cities :-)
Huh! It actually DID escape me. Got to admit, I haven't read anything of his since high school! But, in any event, happy 200th, Mr. Dickens.
