The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.

- He has been referred to by E. V. Lucas, his principal biographer, as "the most lovable figure in English literature".

Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Charles Lamb article was read about 79,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 61: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
