Best Answer

When Dickens was a boy of twelve he was compelled by his parents, who were undergoing serious financial problems, to go to work at a shoe polish factory called Warren's Blacking Factory, and to live in a garret nearby. He was only there a few months but was so distressed and humiliated that the experience colored his entire life. As an adult, he championed child labor laws, poverty laws, and education laws, and worked and contributed generously to those causes. And every book and short story he wrote in some way reflected his childhood experiences.
