It always astounds me how certain books get pigeonholed as 'childrens' books. I feel this one has had that tag for a long time. But it's far from a children's story, sure it has children in it, but the true story is about how society treated the poor etc.
And I agree that Dickens wrote a lot of autobiographical stuff. I actually haven't read the most famous one in that regard - does anyone recommend David Copperfield?

Dickens is considered a writer of the Victorian era (and is generally regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian period). Other famous Victorian writers include Anthony Trollope, Wilkie Collins, and a number of other writers of that period.
