I come to this page from rather a different position to most. I am not formally educated having left school aged 12 practically illiterate but over the years slowly educated my self and on discovery of this man and his works can only wish I had lived while he did so I could tell him of his contribution to my life.
Over the past 50 years I have read most of the works of Dickens Tolstoy and many other classic authors and can only say how much I have enjoyed my life because such men lived and posted their works to the improvement of the human family.
