Set in the early nineteenth century, the novel tells the story of Silas Marner, a simple, honest and kindhearted weaver, who falls asleep one night whilst he is supposed to be watching over the seriously ill deacon of the congregation. When he wakes, he finds that the deacon has already passed away. Not only that, but the congregation's funds have been stolen whilst he was sleeping.
