In this short story by four great Victorian authors, a woman’s fascination with an abandoned house reveals mystery and intrigue within. Written by Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Elizabeth Gaskell, and Adelaide Anne Procter, “A House to Let” tells the story of an elderly woman who moves to London for a change of scenery. Fascinated by signs of life emanating from a supposedly abandoned house, she entreats two rival helpers to investigate. On their journey to uncovering the truth, they return to their mistress with competing tales of men lost at sea, bizarre circus performers, forged death certificates, and more.
