The Seven Poor Travellers
Charles Dickens
This is an odd little story, about a charitable inn in Rochester, set up to allow poor travellers a free night's stay and a meal, with the narrator venturing in as a seventh poor traveller, adding his assistance with meals and company.
For the entertainment of the travellers he tells an extended story within a story on a completely different topic.
As a whole, it is enjoyable, yet still remains an oddity.
