Charles Dickens is the acclaimed definitive biography by bestselling author Claire Tomalin

Charles Dickens was a phenomenon: a demonicly hardworking journalist, the father of ten children, a tireless walker and traveller, a supporter of liberal social causes, but most of all a great novelist - the creator of characters who live immortally in the English imagination: the Artful Dodger, Mr Pickwick, Pip, David Copperfield, Little Nell, Lady Dedlock, and many more.

At the age of twelve he was sent to work in a blacking factory by his affectionate but feckless parents. From these unpromising beginnings, he rose to scale all the social and literary heights, entirely through his own efforts. When he died, the world mourned, and he was buried - against his wishes - in Westminster Abbey.Yet the brilliance concealed a divided character: a republican, he disliked America; sentimental about the family in his writings, he took up passionately with a young actress; usually generous, he cut off his impecunious children.

From the award-winning author of Samuel Pepys, Charles Dickens: A Life paints an unforgettable portrait of Dickens, capturing brilliantly the complex character of this great genius. If you loved Great Expectations, Oliver Twist and A Christmas Carol, this book is invaluable reading.

'By far the most humane and imaginatively sympathetic account yet for the general reader' Amanda Craig, New Statesman

Claire Tomalin is the award-winning author of eight highly acclaimed biographies, including: The Life and Death of Mary Wollstonecraft; Shelley and His World; Katherine Mansfield: A Secret Life; The Invisible Woman: The Story of Nelly Ternan and Charles Dickens; Mrs Jordan's Profession; Jane Austen: A Life; Samuel Pepys: The Unequalled Self; Thomas Hardy: The Time-Torn Man and, most recently, Charles Dickens: A Life. A former literary editor of the New Statesman and the Sunday Times, she is married to the playwright and novelist Michael Frayn.

Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby Mineral Sunscreen Stick - Gentle Protection for Little On
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I purchased the Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby Mineral Sunscreen Stick with Broad Spectrum SPF 50 & Zinc Oxide for both of my grandbabies, and it has been a wonderful addition to our sun protection routine. The sunscreen stick is easy to apply, especially on squirmy little ones, and provides effective broad-spectrum protection. One of the things I love most about this sunscreen is that it's formulated with zinc oxide, which is gentle on their delicate skin. I also appreciate that it's free of fragrances, parabens, and other harsh chemicals, making it suitable for their sensitive skin. The compact size of the sunscreen stick makes it convenient to carry in a diaper bag or purse, ensuring that we always have sun protection on hand when we're out and about. Plus, the stick form makes it easy to apply precisely, avoiding the eyes and mouth. Overall, I highly recommend the Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby Mineral Sunscreen Stick to parents and grandparents looking for a gentle yet effective sunscreen for their little ones. It's become a staple in our outdoor adventures, and I'm sure it will be in yours too.

So much easier to apply
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 2)
These are small for the price but man oh man does it make it easier! My daughter is allergic to most sunscreens so this is our go to kind however I hate how hard it is to get off of your hands after using the lotion form. This is so much neater and it doesn't get all over me. It also doesn't seem to stain the suits - or is just easier to avoid getting on suits - than the lotion form. It does the same great job of preventing sunburn. Makes reapplication so much better because you don't end up with sand all over you - since you couldn't rinse off the lotion the first time around.

Great for adult faces too
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Advertised for babies but this is my go to sunscreen for my face, especially when traveling. It is a stick so doesn't have to go in your liquids bag for TSA. No worrying about it leaking either. Easy to use, and works well. It does leave a whitish cast but that helps me make sure I got every spot covered. Would rather have a whitish cast then end up red with sunburn.
