A Tale of Two Cities

Lucie Manette, daughter of a hero of the Revolution, loves Charles Darnay, an aristocrat who sympathizes with the poor. When revolutionaries seize Charles, only Englishman Sydney Carton can save him. But here, too, we run into complication and intrigue!

Shaping his telling for the entire family, Jim Weiss gives us Dickens’ unforgettable heroes, remorseless villains and thrilling plot twists to make A Tale of Two Cities a classically memorable, dramatic presentation. Abridged and adapted. Timeline: 1790s (London and Paris – French Revolution)
