Book description:In Charles Dickens' adventure story, "The Perils of Certain English Prisoners", a silver mine is captured by brigands, who also kill a number of English colonists and take the rest hostage. In the ensuing narrative, the pluck of some intrepid women prisoners enables the captives to make a daring escape. Inspired by the real-life events of the Indian Mutiny in 1857, Dickens set this novella in Belize to blur the distinction.
