Posted by Tanya Owen | POST A COMMENT

Prince Charles is leading ceremonies to mark today's 200th birthday of novelist Charles Dickens.

The heir to the throne will lay a wreath on the writer's grave in Westminster Abbey's Poet's Corner, where actor Ralph Fiennes will give a reading. More events are being held in Portsmouth, England, where Dickens was born on February 7th, 1812. His novels ``Oliver Twist'' and ``Great Expectations'' are still read by millions.

Dickens also campaigned for social reform in Victorian England
