"No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it to anyone else."

Charles John Huffam Dickens died #OTD in 1870.

Dickens edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas, hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed readings extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, for education, and for other social reforms.
