There's no doubt that Mr Micawber, with his words of wisdom about the consequences of expenditure exceeding income, was modelled on Dickens' father, a navy pay clerk.

Like Micawber, John Dickens optimistically expected something to "turn up". When it didn't, he and the rest of the family were sent to a debtors' prison.

All except 12-year-old Charles, who'd had to leave school to work in a boot-blacking factory in London. It was an experience which haunted him for the rest of his life. As he later recalled, with its "rotten floors... over-run with rats... the dirt and decay... rise visibly up before me, as if I were there again".
