About this book
"Coketown was a town of fact. There was no fancy in it. You saw nothing but what was severely workful. The hospital looked like the prison. All the public notices were painted alike in plain black and white letters." Thus Dickens sets the scene for his novel Hard Times. Using the Gradgrind family, he illustrates the dangers of totally relying on facts and denying our imaginations.
