Definitely worth a mention.
Today is 200 years since the birth of Charles Dickens. A most influential writer, and his works are still in vogue in stage productions.
One of the greats in literature.

in today's world, are more people having the "best of days" or "the worst of days?"
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity" so said charles dickens and it gives us something to muddle over.

My apologies Christine. I didn't see it in "Literature" so thought it had been overlooked.  Had a busy day and didn't get a chance to check "English Grammar", there is no double meaning in this comment.
