Description: A TALE OF TWO CITIES has had a large, faithful and continuing audience for well over a hundred years. One of the most consistently appealing of all Dickens' novels, it is perhaps unmatched by any of his other works for stark drama, real- iStic portrayal of a bloody period in history and a host of memorable characters.

The two cities of the title are Lon- don and Paris and the time is the French Revolution. Against the tu- multuous background of the Reign of Terror, and its sinister guillotine, a tender romance is played out, with the classically heroic Sydney Carton finally giving his life to as- sure the happiness of a girl who would never be his.

A TALE OF TWO CITIEs is his- torical romance at its best.
