      abstract = {"Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone  are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out  everything else.  Imagine a world where imagination is  forbidden. Coketown is such a place. Thomas Gradgrind will  not permit fanciful thoughts in his school or his home. But  what effect will this policy have on his own children, Tom  and Louisa? How can he protect them from corrupting  influences - especially when the circus comes to town? Dark  satanic mills, interrupted by the colour and vibrancy of  Sleary's Circus, set the stage for a sweeping tale of  suppressed love, seduction and social mores, peopled with  the sharply observed, exaggerated characters that Dickens  is celebrated for."},
