Terence Davies' adaptation of Lewis Grassic Gibbon's novel charmed critics earlier this year—they called it "a grieving Scottish ballad of childhood's end" and praised its "astonishing beauty. " Gibbon's original work, the first in the Scots Quair trilogy, tells the story of the young Scotswoman Chris Guthrie navigating Europe's sea changes in the early twentieth century.

It was wonderful to see Dickens, who was known for being quite wordy, excelling at the shorter format. I'm rating the short collection 5 stars just because I enjoyed the last two stories that much. Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2014
Not the usual Charles Dickens story and, as already pointed out by another reviewer, not particularly scary by today's standards. However, at its time of writing, it would have had more impact. Well worth a read and a good introduction to a master storyteller. Top reviews from other countries
5. 0 out of 5 stars
Read if you dare!!! Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 14, 2018 Verified Purchase
Ok, maybe they are not super scary but they are well written short stories. The signalman is a classic supernatural tale and well worth the money alone. 2. 0 out of 5 stars
Not his usual high standard. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 7, 2014 Verified Purchase
I normally like Charles Dickens' books but I'm not keen on this one. It's exceptionally short.
It's kinda like being a drug dealer.

Penguin Classics did something really cool and unique to celebrate their 80th anniversary a few years back. They released 80 of these little pocket-sized excerpts from some of their best works. And they sold them in the UK for 80p a volume. Before I got the Penguin Little Black Classics Box Set, I picked up a couple of these slim volumes: 'Gooseberries' by Anton Chekhov and 'Femme Fatale' by Guy de Maupassant. I picked them up when I was doing the Bradbury Trio, which is a reading program that Ray Bradbury assigned and it basically says that for the next 1, 000 nights you're going to read 1 short story, 1 poem, and 1 essay. And I thought these little volumes were perfect for helping me fulfil some of that reading program. But buying them individually is a bit laborious, so when I saw the complete collection was available for around 80 bucks ( here) I snapped it right up and now I'm diving full-force back into the Bradbury Trio.

There are good ways and bad ways to do this. Bad ways include just nicking The Great Gatsby off Gutenberg and sticking it up on Amazon with your own cover. That sucks. And because there are so many thousands of copies, you're not going to make any money anyway. Good ways include adding something to the table. Bringing some value proposition to the reader. This could be:
introductions (which Penguin often does)
historical asides
annotations
footnotes
analysis
etc
Another value proposition you could bring to the reader is just hardcore curation. Just get the stuff that most people won't find on their own. Because, I assure you, if you go through some of the classics looking for the little known gems on Gutenberg, it's going to take you a long time to find something that's actually pretty good. But the people at Penguin have already done it, and they've done it with good translations – because a lot of the Little Black Classics are from different languages like Ancient Greek and Italian. So you're getting a good product.

I gave it 3 stars because it was difficult to follow in some places, but once I got to the end I was like: ooohhh, I get it. It was a cool read and one I don't regret. Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2014 Verified Purchase
The book was essentially uneventful, anticlimactic, and lacked an element of thrill and/or suspense. For those expecting a legitimate ghost story, don't purchase this book. Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2019
This review is of the To Be Read at Dusk by Charles Dickens, Little Black Classic edition by Penguin, which contain the three stories: To Be Read at Dusk, The Signalman, and The Trial for Murder. ) All three of the short stories in the collection contain a spooky theme. While they aren't scary, they are a little eery. I was a little leary after reading the first story because it was just so so. Interesting, but nothing spectacular. I need not have worried, though, because the second and third stories were so much fun to read. I loved both of them!
Now where to begin... Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2016 Verified Purchase
I was not sure what I was getting, based on the mixed reviews. In short, the positive reviews have nailed it. Been awhile since you've read? Have a short attention span? Enjoy reading, even a little? Then this set is for you. The books are tiny, like maybe 5 inches, and around 80 pages each. Additionally, the variety is so diverse, it can't help but to expand personal reading horizons without having to worry about the enormity of such an undertaking. Amazing set, fun to read, $1 a book- all and all a great value. Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2016 Verified Purchase
I haven't read them all yet but this is a great collection filled with variety. Don't know why someone would rate this 4 stars for something of such great value that is filled with timeless classics. Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2019 Verified Purchase
these little masterpieces fit in your purse or pocket. Be brilliant in just minutes a day.
