Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was a prolific English writer of fiction and nonfiction, including fifteen novels. He enjoyed international success in his lifetime and is considered one of the greatest novelists of all time.
Clement Clarke Moore (1179-1863) was an American writer, scholar and real estate developer. He is best known as author of the Christmas poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas," better known today as " 'Twas the Night Before Christmas."
Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) initially strove to be a theater actor but when his soprano voice started changing in his teens, he was encouraged to be a poet instead. Today, the Danish writer is most well-known for his literary fairy tales-156 published throughout his lifetime.
