The short story is often viewed as an inferior relation to the Novel.

But it is an art in itself. To take a story and distil its essence into fewer pages while keeping character and plot rounded and driven is not an easy task.

Many try and many fail. In this series we look at short stories from many of our most accomplished writers.

Miniature masterpieces with a lot to say. In this volume we examine some of the stories Charles Dickens wrote about specific people.

Sometimes with just a few details Dickens conjures up memorable characters that set about their journey.

Dickens is a name that dominates the landscape of English novelists.
