Tom Tiddler's Ground, also known as Tom Tidler's Ground or Tommy Tiddler's Ground, is an ancient children's game in which one player, "Tom Tiddler," stands on a heap of stones, gravel, etc. Other players rush onto the heap, crying "Here I am on Tom Tiddler's ground," while Tom tries to capture, or in other versions, expel the invaders. By extension the phrase has come to mean the ground or tenement of a sluggard, or of one easily taken advantage of. The essence of the game lives on in more modern versions as Steal the Bacon and variants of Tag.

In this story, Dickens gives an excellent and spot-on description of a hermit. He shows much empathy and identification with a lonely child (perhaps shades of his own childhood?)- fear escalating, noises magnified. 

 
Autorenporträt
Charles Dickens (1812-1870) byl proslulý anglický spisovatel a sociální kritik, veobecn¿ povaovaný za jednoho z nejv¿tích spisovatel¿ viktoriánské éry. Dickens se narodil v anglickém Portsmouthu a proil t¿ké d¿tství poznamenané finan¿ní nouzí, která pozd¿ji do znäné míry ovlivnila jeho tvorbu. Dickens se proslavil sériov¿ vydávanými romány, v nich dokázal spojit humor, pronikavý spole¿enský post¿eh a hluboce lidské charaktery. Jeho díla osv¿tlují problémy chudých, nedostatky institucionálních systém¿ a velké rozdíly mezi spole¿enskými vrstvami v Anglii 19. století. Dnes je Dickens oslavován nejen pro svá poutavá vypráv¿ní, ale také pro sv¿j trvalý vliv na literaturu a spole¿nost.
