Master Humphrey's Clock
"Master Humphrey's Clock" by Charles Dickens is a weekly periodical published from 1840 to 1841. Master Humphrey, a lonely Londoner, forms a club where members gather to read manuscripts stored in his antique clock. Through this frame story, Dickens presents short tales and two complete novels: "The Old Curiosity Shop" and "Barnaby Rudge." The periodical follows the club's gatherings and storytelling sessions, weaving together multiple narratives before reaching its poignant conclusion when Master Humphrey's friends discover his final fate.
