Although born in Portsmouth, not Kent, Dickens spent much of his childhood in Chatham, and lived in his adult years in Broadstairs and Higham, where he wrote many of his most famous novels. He was rightly lauded for highlighting the terrible conditions in London slums and for his opposition to slavery. I just wish he'd hadn't made the heroines in his novels such vapid, swooning sots. Happy birthday anyway, Charles. AW
