Text, The Whole Text, and Nothing But The Text

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. We have borrowed this presentation so that you, dear reader, can try the experience. It may be particularly salutary for those who are a little awestruck by some of the longer novels...
CONTENTS
Sir
Walter Scott: Rob Roy
Charles Dickens: David Copperfield
Henry Fielding:
Tom Jones
It looks as if we are heading for a long period by the fireside this winter, so we at Good in Parts
are leaning towards selecting more cosy, more happy, more amusing
(even funny) books to suit indoor readers. They may also come into the
category of Books That I Thought I Had Read (But Perhaps Didn't) and
Books That I Read So Long Ago That I Can't Remember Everything That
Happened. This policy started with The Secret Garden, and will continue the week after next with Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. Meanwhile, one of the most famous ghost stories begins next week and will finih on Christmas Day (that's a hint of which story it is).
Frances Hodgson Burnett: The Secret Garden
