Best Answer

Answer: Dickens' parents put him to work when he was 12; he applied labels to bottles of blacking (shoe polish) at Warren's Blacking Company. He was only there for eight months, but the experience--along with the shame of his father's imprisonment for debt--tormented him for the rest of his life.
