Mugby Junction - Charles Dickens Various

What this episode covers

Originally published in 1866 in the Christmas edition of Dickens's magazine, "All the Year Round.", "Mugby Junction" offers a diverse collection of stories, each with its own unique characters and themes, ranging from family and compassion to the supernatural and mysterious. It showcases both Charles Dickens's storytelling prowess and the contributions of other authors to this literary work centered around the railway station, Mugby Junction. Dickens contributes the first four stories including the spooky ‘The Signalman’, and is ably supported by Scottish journalist and dramatist Andrew Halliday’s ‘The Engine Driver’, novelist and journalist Charles Collins’ ‘The Compensation House’, evangelical author Hesba Stretton’s ‘The Travelling Post-Office’ and finally novelist, journalist, traveller and Egyptologist Amelia B. Edwards’ tale of unrequited love, ‘The Engineer’. Humour and pathos, life and death intersect where the great railways cross – get your ticket for Mugby Junction! (Summary by Bryn Roberts)
