The Mystery Of Edwin Drood

The Mystery of Edwin Drood: Master Humphrey's Clock, and Sketches by Boz is a novel written by Charles Dickens and published posthumously in 1867. The story revolves around the disappearance of Edwin Drood, a young man who is engaged to Rosa Bud, a woman he has known since childhood. The novel is set in the fictional town of Cloisterham, England, and features a cast of eccentric characters, including John Jasper, a choirmaster and uncle to Edwin, who becomes a prime suspect in his nephew's disappearance.The novel was originally published in installments in Dickens' literary magazine, Master Humphrey's Clock, which also included a series of sketches by Boz (Dickens' pseudonym). The sketches are a collection of short stories and essays that offer a glimpse into the daily life of Victorian England, from the harsh realities of poverty to the frivolous pursuits of the wealthy.The Mystery of Edwin Drood is notable for its unfinished nature, as Dickens died before he could complete the novel. As a result, the identity of Edwin's murderer and the resolution of the story remain a mystery. Despite this, the novel has been adapted for stage, screen, and radio, and continues to captivate readers with its intriguing plot and vivid characters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
