In this gripping tale, two boys from the Foundling Hospital share the same name, leading to catastrophic repercussions in their adult lives. To set things right, two determined associates embark on a quest to locate a missing heir. Their journey plunges them into the depths of Londons mysterious wine cellars and the sun-drenched shores of the Mediterranean, traversing the treacherous Alps in winter. With danger and betrayal lurking at every turn, its the unwavering bravery of the heroine and her loyal servant that keep hope alive. Rich with vivid descriptions, diverse characters, eerie settings, and a captivating mix of mystery, concealed identities, near brushes with death, and romance, this classic Dickensian story ultimately celebrates the triumph of Good over Evil. First published in 1867, it draws thematic connections to Dickens other mature works, such as Little Dorrit and Our Mutual Friend. Listeners may even uncover insights into the unfinished mystery of The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Wilkie Collins collaborated with Dickens on this ‘Christmas’ book, contributing to both the novel and its stage adaptation. If released today, it would undoubtedly be branded as THE BOOK OF THE FILM. - Summary by Alan Chant.Copyright Fiction Classics
