The story revolves around a mysterious and abandoned house in London, which is let out to a strange and disparate group of tenants. The tenants include a retired sea captain, a young couple, a lawyer, and a secretive and reclusive woman.As the tenants begin to interact with each other, they uncover the strange and unsettling history of the house, which involves a tragic love story, a mysterious disappearance, and a shocking revelation. The novella is a blend of mystery, romance, and social commentary, and explores themes such as class, gender, and the power of storytelling.A House To Let was first published in 1858 as a serial in the magazine Household Words, which was edited by Dickens himself. The novella has since become a classic of Victorian literature, and is considered a prime example of collaborative writing. It has been adapted for stage, radio, and television, and continues to be enjoyed by readers around the world.At one period of its reverses, the House fell into the occupation of a Showman. He was found registered as its occupier, on the parish books of the time when he rented the House, and there was therefore no need of any clue to his name. But, he himself was less easy to be found; for, he had led a wandering life, and settled people had lost sight of him--by Dickens and others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
