Description

Mugby Junction is a collection of short stories written by Charles Dickens and his collaborators in 1866. The frame narrative sets the scene for a series of tales that explore life along the railway lines.

The stories are linked by a mysterious figure who, having spent his life confined to a company, now explores the rail network with newfound freedom. Each tale is told from a different perspective, offering a glimpse into the lives of those working on the railways.

One of the most famous stories in this collection is "The Signal-Man", a haunting ghost story that has become a staple of Dickens's oeuvre. This edition includes all the original tales, including "Barbox Brothers" and "The Boy at Mugby".
