Charles Dickens’s birthday – Can you rewrite his most famous sentence?
February 7th is the day on which Charles Dickens was born 210 years ago, going on to become an enormous cultural force influencing everything from perceptions of social injustice to the way we celebrate Christmas 200 years later. In these times in which the UK’s relationship with continental Europe is being reshaped it seems apt to celebrate the writer’s life by taking a look at his novel A Tale of Two Cities, and particularly its very first sentence, which has a good claim to be the most famous in English literature. Click on the picture below to see if you can put the parts of that sentence in the right order (particularly useful for anyone studying antonyms!)
