3. Charles Dickens – London, England
Charles Dickens was a famous writer who came to prominence during the Victorian era. He had a flair for humor and satire, and liked to explore society’s dynamics. He was a pioneer in the serial publication of fiction, as most of his novels were published weekly or monthly.
He wrote Oliver Twist while living in Holborn, London. He liked to write in complete silence, so there was an extra door separating his study from the rest of the house. His writing desk always faced the window, and he kept nine objects on it – including a large paper knife and a goose-quill pen with blue ink.
