A House To Let is a collection of four short stories written by Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Elizabeth Gaskell, and Adelaide Anne Procter, with an introduction by Mrs. Molesworth. The stories are all connected by the central setting of a house for rent in London, which is advertised in the newspaper. The first story, by Charles Dickens, is about a mysterious lodger who takes up residence in the house and the strange events that follow. The second story, by Wilkie Collins, is a tale of love, betrayal, and revenge involving a young woman who moves into the house with her father. The third story, by Elizabeth Gaskell, tells the story of a young girl who is taken in by the house's owner and becomes embroiled in a family feud. The final story, by Adelaide Anne Procter, is a ghost story about a young woman who is haunted by the ghost of a former tenant of the house. Throughout the book, the different stories intertwine and overlap, creating a complex and engaging narrative that explores themes of love, betrayal, revenge, and the supernatural.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
