William Dorrit has been a resident of the Marshalsea debtors prison for so many years that he has gained a nickname, the “Father of the Marshalsea.” His suffering is eased by his close bond with his youngest daughter Amy, also known as little Dorrit. The dashing Arthur Clennam, after returning to London having spent many years in China, enters their lives, and the Dorrits’ fortunes begin to rise and fall. Little Dorrit is a biting satirical work on the shortcomings of nineteenth-century government and society.

Author Bio: Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens (1812–1870) was born in Landport, Portsmouth, England, the second of eight children in a family continually plagued by debt. A legacy brought release from the nightmare of debtors’ prison and child labor and afforded him a few years of formal schooling. He worked as an attorney’s clerk and newspaper reporter until his early writings brought him the amazing success that was to be his for the remainder of his life. He was the most popular English novelist of the Victorian era, and he remains popular, responsible for some of English literature’s most iconic characters.
