Travel Photography: Seven Poor Travellers

Collectors Edition! The fifth Christmas number of Dickens' hugely popular periodical Household Words, and the first for which he created a unifying theme, this collection offers tales of wartime camaraderie and heroic servants. Included are stories from four of Dickens' respected colleagues--Wilkie Collins, Adelaide Proctor, George Sala, and Eliza Linton--in addition to his own contributions. Gathered at Watts' Charity--a sparse yet cozy almshouse--seven diverse travelers share fantastic stories following a Christmas Eve dinner.
