He began as a journalist, rose to enormous popularity during his lifetime, and wrote major works such as Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, and Great Expectations. The Mystery of Edwin Drood is Charles Dickens’s final, unfinished novel about the mysterious disappearance (likely murder) of a young man named Edwin Drood in the fictional cathedral town of Cloisterham, England. The theme centres around Edwin who is engaged to Rosa Bud in a marriage arranged by their fathers. Both are unhappy with the arrangement and decide to break it off. Edwin’s uncle John Jasper, is the cathedral’s choirmaster, and secretly obsesses over Rosa and is an opium addict. After a tense Christmas Eve dinner with Edwin and the hot tempered Neville Landless (who also likes Rosa), Edwin disappears. Neville is suspected because he was last seen with Edwin, but there’s no body and not enough evidence to charge him. There is also a mysterious figure named Datchery who arrives in Cloisterham to investigate, and an elderly woman from an opium den called Princess Puffer who begins shadowing Jasper.The Mystery of Edwin Drood Hard Cover, Blue.

He began as a journalist, rose to enormous popularity during his lifetime, and wrote major works such as Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, and Great Expectations. Little Dorrit is about Amy “Little” Dorrit, a gentle, selfless woman born and raised in the Marshalsea debtors’ prison where her father, William Dorrit, has been imprisoned for unpaid debts. The story follows her as she works as a seamstress outside the prison, gradually becoming entangled with Arthur Clennam, a businessman returning from abroad. Dickens interweaves a sharp critique of Victorian bureaucracy, finance, and class throughout the story. The theme centres around Amy Dorrit who lives her whole early life in Marshalsea, supporting her family with quiet dignity while her father clings to fragile genteel pretensions. Arthur Clennam, disillusioned after years in China, becomes involved with the Dorrits and uncovers a web of secrets involving his own mother, a hidden inheritance, and shady business dealings. William Dorrit suddenly inherits a fortune and is able to lift the family out of poverty and into fashion conscious society.The novel shows how money distorts their characters and relationships, while Amy remains the moral centre.Little Dorrit Author: Charles Dickens Publisher: Collins Further Information: We do have 2 more copies of this same book.

He began as a journalist, rose to enormous popularity during his lifetime, and wrote major works such as Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, and Great Expectations. Barnaby Rudge is a historical Dickens novel set against the Gordon Riots of 1780, mixing mystery, political unrest, family secrets, and the story of a simple minded young man, Barnaby, and his pet raven Grip. It is considered Dickens’s first historical novel and one of his less widely read works, but it remains important for its treatment of mob violence and social disorder. The novel begins with a murder mystery linked to the Haredale and Rudge families, then broadens into the chaos of the anti Catholic Gordon Riots in London. Barnaby, an innocent and impressionable character, is drawn into the riotous crowd. Other threads involve love, family conflict, imprisonment, and eventual reckoning. Dickens uses the riot setting to show how crowd panic and prejudice can spread destructively through society.Barnaby Rudge. Author: Charles Dickens.

The location for the event was Yarra Bend Park near the Studley Park Boat House. The event was organised by the Kew Historical Society.

In re-enacting events such as the Grimes survey of the Yarra, students from a local school were encouraged to take on specific roles, including play-acting individuals involved in the survey party as well as members of the local Wurundjeri People.
