Round the Sofa

by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell

"Round the Sofa" by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell is a two-volume collection published in 1859. A narrator provides the framework as various storytellers gather around a sofa, each sharing their tale. The collection includes the novel "My Lady Ludlow" and five short stories with diverse themes. This framing device connects otherwise disparate narratives, creating an intimate atmosphere of shared storytelling among companions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
