Master Humphrey's Clock

Meer over het boek

Set within a frame story, Master Humphrey, an engaging narrator, shares tales from his life and his friends, who enjoy storytelling. The periodical features a collection of short stories alongside two notable novels, The Old Curiosity Shop and Barnaby Rudge. While Master Humphrey initially serves as the first-person narrator in The Old Curiosity Shop, he eventually fades from the narrative, allowing the stories to unfold through other perspectives. This unique structure highlights Dickens' storytelling prowess and character development.
