Description
Mugby Junction, the extra Christmas number of All the Year Round for 1866, gathers stories by Charles Dickens, Andrew Halliday, Charles Collins, Hesba Stretton, and Amelia B. Edwards. The 1898 Chapman and Hall edition reprints the set with a frontispiece.
Dickens contributes Barbox Brothers, Barbox Brothers and Company, The Boy at Mugby, and the famous ghost story The Signalman, while the other writers take branch lines on engines, drivers, and compensation houses. The volume is a classic of Victorian Christmas fiction, built around a railway junction. The opening finds a traveler stepping off at Mugby Junction at past three on a tempestuous morning, sacrificing his through ticket.
