Charles Dickens and the Street Children of London / Andrea Warren / 156 p.

I loved this book, full of photos and illustrations, that demonstrates Dickens' particular dedication to improving the lives of London's children through his writing. Warren makes the case that change occurred in the government, financial, and social realms in large part because of the Dickens' portraits of children such as Nell, Oliver, and many others.
