Walter Besant was a novelist and historian, and his topographical and historical writings, ranging from prehistoric times to the nineteenth century, were probably best known through the detailed 10-volume Survey of London published after his death. This earlier single volume covers, in less depth, the whole period from prehistory until the 19th century. The book appears originally to have been written for boys, and, indeed, the chapters are called "Lessons".

Edgar Allan Poe was one of the most important and influential American writers of the 19th century. He was the first author to try to make a professional living as a writer.

As winter tightens its grip on the Green Meadow, food grows scarce and danger lurks behind every hedge and stone wall. Old Granny Fox, wise, watchful, and far more clever than she lets on, knows that survival in the cold months depends not on strength, but on patience, planning, and wit. By her side is her grandson, Reddy Fox—young, proud, and far too sure of his own cleverness.

Dracula is an epistolary novel, written as a collection of realistic but completely fictional diary entries, telegrams, letters, ship's logs, and newspaper clippings, all of which added a level of detailed realism to the story, a skill which Stoker had developed as a newspaper writer.

A House to Let is a short story originally published in 1858 in the Christmas edition of Dickens' Household Words magazine. Each of the contributors wrote a chapter (stories within a story, or, in the case of Adelaide Anne Procter, poetry) and the story was edited by Dickens, who also wrote the first and last chapters with Wilkie Collins.

Walter Whitman was an American poet, essayist and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism, incorporating both views in his works. Whitman is among the most influential poets in the American canon, often called the father of free verse. His work was controversial in its time, particularly his 1855 poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was described as obscene for its overt sensuality. Whitman's own life came under scrutiny for his presumed homosexuality.

The play is significant for the way it deals with the fate of a married woman, who at the time in Norway lacked reasonable opportunities for self-fulfillment in a male-dominated world, despite the fact that Ibsen denied it was his intent to write a feminist play. It aroused a great sensation at the time and caused a "storm of outraged controversy" that went beyond the theatre to the world of newspapers and society.

The Good Soldier was first published in 1915. The iconic novel might be characterized as a melodrama of English upper-class infidelities, cut into little pieces, then retold out of sequence by a narrator who occasionally appears to be half asleep. That is not wholly wrong, yet many have seen in this novel's beguiling voice, innovative narrative technique, and acute depiction of erotic repression a literary masterpiece. In 2015, the BBC ranked The Good Soldier 13th on its list of the 100 greatest British novels.

Washington Irving’s Old Christmas: The Origin of Our Modern Christmas recounts his visit to Bracebridge Hall, the fictionalized but closely based estate modeled on Aston Hall in Birmingham, where he stays as a holiday guest of the benevolent Squire Bracebridge.

The journey opens with Old Christmas by Washington Irving, a vivid and affectionate portrait of traditional English Yuletide life. Next comes Classic Christmas Stories by Lucy Maud Montgomery, a tender blend of hope, innocence, and emotional truth from the beloved creator of Anne of Green Gables. The collection concludes with The Christmas Reindeer by Thornton W. Burgess, a warm woodland adventure filled with curiosity, courage, and the gentle moral lessons that made Burgess a generation-spanning favorite.

This bundle includes A Christmas Carol, The Chimes, and The Battle of Life.
