By Charles Dickens
Facts alone are wanted in life': the
children at Mr Gradgrind's school are sternly ordered to stifle their
imaginations and pay attention only to cold, hard reality. They live in a
smoky, troubled industrial town so entertainment is hard to come by and
resentments run deep. The effects of Gradgrind's teaching on his own children,
Tom and Louisa, are particularly profound and leave them ill-equipped to deal
with the unpredictable desires of the human heart. Luckily for them they have a
friend in Sissy Jupe, the child of a circus clown, who retains her
warm-hearted, compassionate nature despite the pressures around her.
