A journeying gentleman finds himself snowed in at the Holly-Tree Inn and resolves to entertain himself by recording the stories he hears from his fellow tenants. Trapped for a week, he is regaled with tales from those all around him, including the barmaid and the landlord. The fictional delights he feasts upon include an intriguing mystery by a master innovator of the genre, Wilkie Collins, as well as classically Dickensian sparks of humour and romance. This volume presents the complete 1855 Christmas number of Dickens’ periodical Household Words, so popular after its original publication that it was immediately adapted for the stage.
