Charles Dickens 
Tom Tiddler’s Ground 

In this Charles Dickens ‚framework‘ novel, first published in the Christmas edition of ‚All the Year Round‘ in 1861, visitors tell their personal stories to the hermit Mr. Mopes. Originally, some of the stories were written by Dickens, and the other short stories were contributed by some of Dickens‘ frequent collaborators, including Wilkie Collins. The name is taken from an old children’s game.
