About this edition
Charles Dickens’s Three Ghost Stories gathers The Haunted House, The Trial for Murder and The Signal-Man. This edition follows the 1894 Chapman and Hall text of Christmas Stories.
The six reading sections retain the two chapters explicitly named in The Haunted House and add navigation breaks in the other two stories. The headings anchor scenes, recaps and medallions; they do not change Dickens’s wording.
