Mugby Junction

A weary man who has spent his whole life in a single office steps off at an unremarkable railway junction, forms no plans, and stays — and Mugby Junction begins to tell him its stories. Among them is the greatest ghost story Dickens ever wrote: 'The Signal-Man,' who works the line below the tunnel mouth and has seen something dreadful on the track. Written for the Christmas number of 1866, the year after Dickens survived the Staplehurst rail disaster, this edition presents the complete and unabridged text, newly typeset and illustrated with 30 full-page color plates.
