Chesterton's eulogy to the great Victorian Storyteller, Charles Dickens makes the case that because of Dickens' great heart his characters are larger than life and everyone knows them. Not many are unaware of Ebenezer Scrooge, Oliver Twist, Bob Crachit; and nearly everyone has made a friend of David Copperfield and Tiny Tim. Such is the genius of Dickens, says Chesterton, a genius gained from the greatness of his heart.
