"Grip is the pet raven of Charles Dickens. When Dickens was writing the novel Barnaby Rudge he wanted to use a raven as a character so he bought this raven, kept him as a pet and observed the behaviour -ravens are very intelligent. This raven learned to talk, he learned to say a few things, he had these phrases that he would repeat over and over again. Dickens did write him as a character in Barnaby Rudge and when it was published, Barnaby Rudge was reviewed by Edgar Allen Poe in America.
