Full review
You may think that Dickens is old hat or just for school, think again or, rather, listen again. An audio copy of Barnaby Rudge is a revelation. Gordon riots, an historical event, come to life. The social conditions off the time are described so well, the listener seems to be transported back in time. I say listener as reading Dickens is often hard work, but having the wonderful stories read to you is a different matter. I'm handicapped and always listen rather than read books, I am the lucky one. The Listening Library for the handicapped and public libraries have a wealth of audio books. Any Dickens book is a joy, Barnaby Rudge is my favourite
