Barnaby Rudge

by Charles Dickens
Set around the historical fact of the Gordon riots of 1780 this is an enjoyable novel.
It tells the story of The Maypole Inn and those living in or around this village pub to the South of London. Barnaby is one of these characters and he gets caught up in the riots and their aftermath. It is witty and sad and as ever great story telling 9/10
