Horribly Famous: Charles Dickens and his Pen Pals Award-winning illustrator by Tracey Turner (author) and Clive Goddard (illustrator)

But have you heard that… • William Shakespeare got mixed up in a plot against the Queen? • Jane Austen nearly became a Bigg-Wither? • Charles Dickens had his clothes ripped off by his fans?

Yes, even when they’re dead writers are still full of surprises – and the eight in this book are more surprising than most. Now you can get the inside story from their secret diaries, flick through Good Day! magazine for some nineteenth-century gossip, and find out all about the writers whose tall tales have changed the world.
