they are based mostly on stories played by children or adolescents and show an intention to reprimand or denounce British society of the time. In this historical novel, life is told in the eighteenth century, at the time of the French Revolution.
At the same time the story takes place in two countries: England and France, and in the cities of London and Paris, respectively at the time of the dawn of the French Revolution. The first city would symbolize in some way peace and tranquility, the simple and orderly life; while the second would represent agitation, challenge and chaos, the conflict between two worlds at a time when drastic social changes are announced.
