It began with a frame story in which Master Humphrey tells about himself and his small circle of friends (which includes Mr. Pickwick), and their penchant for telling stories. Several short stories were included, followed by the novels The Old Curiosity Shop and Barnaby Rudge. It is generally thought that Dickens originally intended The Old Curiosity Shop as a short story like the others that had appeared in Master Humphrey's Clock, but after a few chapters decided to extend it into a novel. Master Humphrey appears as the first-person narrator in the first three chapters of The Old Curiosity Shop but then disappears, stating, "And now that I have carried this history so far in my own character and introduced these personages to the reader, I shall for the convenience of the narrative detach myself from its further course, and leave those who have prominent and necessary parts in it to speak and act for themselves." Master Humphrey is a lonely man who lives in London. He keeps old manuscripts in an antique longcase clock by the chimney-corner. One day, he decides that he would start a little club, called Master Humphrey's Clock, where the members would read out their manuscripts to the others. The members include Master Humphrey; a deaf gentleman, Jack Redburn; retired merchant Owen Miles; and Mr. Pickwick from The Pickwick Papers. A mirror club in the kitchen, Mr. Weller's Watch, run by Mr. Weller, has members including Humphrey's maid, the barber and Sam Weller. Master Humphrey's Clock appeared after The Old Curiosity Shop, to introduce Barnaby Rudge. After Barnaby Rudge, Master Humphrey is left by himself by the chimney corner in a train of thoughts. Here, the deaf gentleman continues the narration. Later, the deaf gentleman and his friends return to Humphrey's house to find him dead. Humphrey has left money for the barber and the maid (no doubt by traces of love that they would be married). Redburn and the deaf gentleman look after the house and the club closes for good. In the portion of Master Humphrey's Clock which succeeds The Old Curiosity Shop, Master Humphrey reveals to his friends that he is in fact the character referred to as the 'single gentleman' in that story.

Book Description
Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Master Humphrey's Clock by Charles Dickens. It was a weekly magazine edited and written entirely by Charles Dickens that was published from April 4, 1840 to December 4, 1841. It began with a framed narration, in which Master Humphrey tells us about himself and his small circle of friends, including Mr. Pickwick, and also reveals his fondness for storytelling. Several short stories were published in this magazine, as well as the novels The Antique Shop and Barnaby Rudge. Dickens is originally believed to have intended the first one to be a short story like the others that had appeared in Master Humphrey's Watch, but after publishing a few chapters, and in the face of declining magazine sales, he decided to extend it. to novel. Master Humphrey appears as a first-person narrator during the first three chapters of The Antique Shop, but then it disappears after alleging: And now that in this story I have gone so far with my own figure and presented these characters to the reader, for the convenience of the narrative I will detach myself from their future plots, and I will leave those who have prominent roles and necessary in them speak and act for themselves .Charles Dickens - Charles John Huffam Dickens FRSA (February 7, 1812 - June 9, 1870)
