Review # 1 was written on 2012-10-08 00:00:00 Fritz Eigelshoven "'Mrs Lirriper' isn't completely by Charles Dickens. It's a book of short stories, four of which are by him." I said to my mother yesterday afternoon. "Really?" she said. "Mm-hmm. It was actually published as two books - 'Mrs. Lirriper's Lodgings' and 'Mrs. Lirriper's Legacy' and then they put them into one book. Each one begins and ends with a short story by Charles Dickens writing as Mrs. Lirriper, who is the landlady. The stories inbetween are written by different writers, like Henry Spicer and Andrew Halliday, pretending to be different lodgers Mrs. Lirriper has had, or pretending to know one of her lodger's stories. One of her lodgers, the Major, has been with her a long time, and they adopted a baby boy, and the Major is the person who knew all the lodger's stories, and he wrote them down for the boy to read when he came back from boarding school." "Sounds complicated to me." "It does the way I explain it, but it really works. Trust me." "That's the most words I've had out of you all day." "That's because I've been reading it all day!"
