About the book

Charles Dickens's Barnaby Rudge is a historical novel set against the Gordon Riots of 1780, when anti-Catholic protests erupted into widespread violence across London. The story combines family secrets, romance and mystery with the experiences of the innocent Barnaby and his raven Grip. As personal storylines become caught up in the riots, Dickens vividly depicts the frightening transformation of individuals into a violent crowd, exploring prejudice, disorder and the destructive power of mob mentality.
