| Summary |
Charles Dickens' Mugby Junction is a compilation of short stories whose events happen mostly round a Victorian railway station. It is the result of Dickens's collaboration with some of the leading writers of his day and contains four contributions by Dickens, including what is arguably one of his most famous stories, 'The Signalman' - the chilling tale of a ghost's apparition at the entrance to a tunnel, the harbinger of fatal accidents on the line. |
