Round The Sofa

Round the Sofa

by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell

Round the Sofa is a collection of six stories by Elizabeth Gaskell, bound together by a framing device of a group of friends telling stories to each other. The stories explore a wide range of themes, including love, loss, family, friendship, morality, class, and gender. Gaskell's writing is known for its realism, humor, and pathos, and Round the Sofa is a fine example of her work.
