GOOD
IN PARTS
The
Text, The Whole Text, and Nothing But The Text
Saturday 25 December 2019 No. 164 Free
Most of the Classic Novels were first presented to the reader either in three volumes or in weekly instalments, so the reader was used to the idea of reading the book in parts.

CONTENTS
A special treat for those of you who enjoyed the Prof’s Ghost Story in the recent edition of The Archers (on BBC Radio Radio 4): as Christmas (the traditional time for such ghoulish reading-matter) approaches, we are including a few ghost stories as a bonus, continuing this week with Dickens's most famous ghost story:
Charles Dickens: A Christmas Carol Part 5

Parts.
Happy Reading from The Editorial Team
