Mugby Junction (Esprios Classics)

"Mugby Junction" is a set of short stories written in 1866 by Charles Dickens and collaborators Charles Collins, Amelia B. Edwards, Andrew Halliday, and Hesba Stretton. It was first published in a Christmas edition of the magazine All the Year Round. Dickens penned a majority of the issue, including the frame narrative in which "the Gentleman for Nowhere," who has spent his life cloistered in the firm Barbox Brothers, makes use of his new-found freedom in retirement to explore the rail lines that connect with Mugby Junction. Dickens''s collaborators each contributed an individual story to the collection.
