A Tale of Two Cities

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times …"-so opens one of the best loved and most often quoted classics. With dramatic eloquence, Charles Dickens pens this thrilling tale of the inhabitants of two cities-Paris and London-as they are swept into the dangerous tide of the French Revolution.

When the starving French masses rise in hate to overthrow a corrupt and decadent government, both the guilty and innocent become victims of their frenzied anger. Soon nothing stands in the way of the chilling figure they enlist for their cause-La Guillotine-the new invention by Dr. Guillotine for efficiently chopping off heads.
