Excerpt from Dickensian Inns and TavernsI do not Claim that it is encyclopaedic in the sense that it will be found to supply a complete index to every inn mentioned in the novelist's books. Many a reader will recall, I expect, a certain inn in his favourite story which has been overlooked but, while my chief aim has been to deal with the famous and prominent ones, I have not ignored the minor ones which, in many cases, are also the most alluring, and often play an important part in the story.The plan has been to take the long novels in something approximating to chronological order, followed by the shorter stories and Sketches and, where an inn is mentioned in more than one book, to deal with it fully in the chapter devoted to the story in which it was first alluded to.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
