A lonely old man living in early 19th-century London hits upon the idea of inviting friends over to read their manuscripts together. With the formation of this fictional literary club, Charles Dickens launched Master Humphrey's Clock, a weekly periodical that he published from 1840 to 1841. Mr. Pickwick and the Wellers of The Pickwick Papers are among the narrators in this charming collection of short stories.
