Ten short stories on the Victorian age written by various British authors, along with a brief interview with each.
Most of these authors have written series and some have given a taste of their characters in their stories. A few mention a continuation of the characters in a novel, which is difficult to find, which was a bit annoying. since leave the reader hanging with what happens next. I think one would have use Goodreads or Amazon.co.uk to find them, if they are still in print.
Anyway I did like most of the ten stories, just a disappointment I could not finish the end of the tale.
