"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…" The opening words of Charles Dickens' great French Revolution romance set the scene for a heart-stopping historical adventure that dashes back and forth between London and Paris during the nightmare of Terror. Dr. Manette is imprisoned at the Bastille, and his daughter Lucie must choose between two suitors, one French, one English. Martin Jarvis delivers a wonderful narration of this classic story.
