Under a pseudonym Timothy Sparks, the then 24 years old Dickens wrote a pamphlet entitled Sunday Under Three Headsin which he defended the people’s right to pleasure, opposing a plan to prohibit games on Sundays. The pamphlet was dedicated (without permission) to the Bishop of London. It was published by Chapman and Hall on Friday, 8 July 1836. The full title is Sunday Under Three Heads. As it is; As Sabbath Bills would make it; As it might be made. It is written in three chapters. In this volume, Dickens talks of a quiet Sunday afternoon and the pleasure derived from a day off for the working classes.The pampered aristocrator the gloomy enthusiast cannot by possibility form an adequate notion of what Sunday really is to those whose lives are spent in sedentary or laborious occupations, and who are accustomed to looking forward to it through their whole existence, as their only day of rest from toil.

Charles John Huffam Dickens (7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's bestknown fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the 20th century, critics and scholars had recognized him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories are still widely read today. Born in Portsmouth, Dickens left school to work in a factory when his father was incarcerated in a debtors' prison. Despite his lack of formal education, he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas, hundreds of short stories and nonfiction articles, lectured and performed readings extensively. He was an indefatigable letter writer and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education, and other social reforms. He was regarded as the literary colossus of his age.
