Charles Dickens' mahogany writing desk and walnut chair, handed down through the family, sold for just over $850,000 at auction at Christie's last week. The proceeds go to the Great Ormond Street children's hospital in London.The buyer, Tom Higgins, made his millions as CEO of a psychic readings business, but plans to use the desk where Dickens penned Great Expectations, to write letters.

Hey! It's an ergonomic desk!
His desk made more than his books ever did. That's literature for you :)
