This book was the last written
by the immortal Dickens and was
never completed. Following is a
short synopsis of the screen version
A young couple, Edwin brood and
Rosa Budd, are engaged to be mar
ried. This is not a love affair, but
a marriage of convenience, according
to the last expressed wish of their
parents. They, however, are very
fond of each other in platonic way;
but John Jasper, young uncle of
Edwin Brood leader of the choir and
organist of Cloisterham Cathedral,
unbeknown to Edwin brood, is madly
in love with Rosa. His passion for
her is so intense that it drives him
to despair, and, in secret, he seeks
solace in opium and practices this
vice in all manner of low places.
A young man, called Neville Landless,
is also in love with Rosa, and his
feeling of jealousy and enmity to
Edwin brood are, at all times, in
famed secretly by John Jasper. There
is a quarrel after dinner one night
at Jasper's house, and that night
Edwin brood disappears. Jasper i'm
mediately arouses the village to sus-
pect Neville Landless, who, the morn
ing after Drood's disappearance, left
the village for a walking tour. A
warrant is issued and Neville is
brought back. Charged with murder,
he is imprisoned. No sign of Brood
though, comes to hand. The river is
dragged. but with no result. In the
meantime Neville's sister Helena ap-
pears. and shortly after a mysterious
stranger. under the name of Mr.. Dat

and commences secret inquiries. A
peculiar woman in black, the keeper
of the opium den which Jasper visits
in London, also shadows Jasper. 1t
is at this exciting period that the
book finishes, stopped by the death
of Charles Dickens, and all manner
of writer's have endeavored to fit in
the concluding chapters of this story.
