I've not read
David Copperfield nor
A Tail of Two Cities, but I like you analogy.
I have read
Great Expectations, I've seen countless adaptations of
A Christmas Carol, and I watched the Disney version of
Oliver Twist once or twice.
I wonder if there is any child who has attended an American public school, who is not familiar with at least one of Dickens' tales?
Edit: I should say any teen who has attended an American High School, as that's usually when his work is introduced.
