This is an informational book about the murder of Charles Lamb's mother by his sister and how he took care of his sister after the murder. Mary would have periodic breakdowns, and Charles would try to keep her out of Bedlam.

In 1796 Mary Lamb thrust a knife into her mother's chest, in that instant breaking free of the drudgery that consumed her days, but at what cost? Sent to Fisher House, a private, quasi-affordable madhouse in Islington, Mary underwent the usual brutal and humiliating treatments dictated by science at the time, similar to those King George III was subjected to ten years before.

This is an example of the Nineteenth Century literary imagination coupled with the new style of writing 'history' which doesn't have to stick with the facts but can create a few for entertainment effects. Mrs.
