- Synopsis
- This collection of short stories mainly focuses on characters and situations familiar in modern life. Many readers cannot appreciate stories that gave delight to an older generation. The types of schools and law-courts that Dickens, for instance, describes in his novels are relics of the past; his Victorian characters are difficult to recognize in a modem situation. Young people today therefore find that those novels do not communicate with them personally. We hope that this selection of narratives of situations and description of persons from modern society will appeal and relate to young readers.
