Publisher Description
Somebody's Luggage is a rediscovered gem from Dickens's later life. Stumbling upon some luggage that has been left behind in the hotel where he works, a waiter searches through it to identify its owner. He fails to discover this, but he does find, secreted away in different parts of the luggage, quite a number of stories. Impressed by their quality, he succeeds in getting them published, although the identity of their author remains a mystery until a visitor comes calling. Written with Dickens's characteristic wit and descriptive skill—and boasting contributions by eminent Victorian writers Wilkie Collins, Adelaide Anne Procter, and Elizabeth Gaskell—Somebody's Luggage is a wonderful composite of tales.
Customer Reviews
Someone’s Luggage
What is to become of luggage left long unclaimed? Find Charles Dickens’ take on the subject in these pages. Admittedly, I was a might confused as to what exactly was happening until the narrator revealed himself and his muse, so read away.
Confusing
This was hard to read. The chapters didn’t seem to fit together.
