London (CNN) -- Charles Dickens is one of the world's best-loved writers, whose books -- and the countless film and TV adaptations they inspire -- still keep readers (and viewers) on the edge of their seats.

Now, 200 years on from his birth, his genius is to be feted with a host of events marking the bicentenary of one of Britain's most famous sons.

Dickens 2012 will see everything from readings to royal visits, celebrating the man who gave the world "Oliver Twist," "David Copperfield" and "Great Expectations."
