Charles Dickens was born #OnThisDay in 1812.
As the most popular British novelist of the Victorian era, Dickens crafted some of English literature's most iconic characters, including Ebenezer Scrooge, David Copperfield, Oliver Twist and Miss Havisham.
The enduring appeal of his novels and short stories is such that they have never gone out of print.

According to @MerriamWebster, "invasion" is "an act of invading," "a sudden attack on and entrance into hostile territory." And to invade is "to enter for conquest or plunder."
