- A full unabridged audiobook of the classic short story, "The Boy at Mugby", by Charles Dickens - complete with sounds and visuals.
"The Boy at Mugby" describes (in thinly disguised form) the town of Rugby in Warwickshire and the town's railway station. This was inspired by an incident in April 1866, when Charles Dickens was travelling from London to Liverpool. Dickens's train made an unscheduled stop at Rugby due to one of the carriages catching fire. While waiting for his journey to resume, he went into the refreshment room for a cup of coffee, and the proprietress, clearly not recognising the celebrity author, treated him rudely. Inspired by this, in chapter three of 'Mugby Junction' he made a scathing attack on railway refreshment rooms and their staff.
"Mugby Junction" is a set of short stories written in 1866 by Charles Dickens and collaborators Charles Collins, Amelia B. Edwards, Andrew Halliday, and Hesba Stretton. It was first published in a Christmas edition of the magazine All the Year Round.

Marvelous narration. Thank you. You bring these stories to life so well. 25:29
That’s lovely to hear, so glad you’re enjoying them!
yeah exactly . i feel really fresh to hear this audiobook . for more romantic and classical stories you can visit my RUclips channel.
Just laughing direcly😂..just the same service as sometimes today. Nothing new under the Sun.Lovely story and wonderful read😊. From Sweden and Merry Christmas ❤
You’re absolutely right 🙄. Thanks for listening, glad you enjoyed!
Dickens' soul must be happy at this beautiful narration 🎉
That’s very kind of you indeed, Nasser. So glad you dropped by to listen!
I know this is weird......
I often think how strange it would be if all the greats came back for just an hour or so, not only to see and hear how very much alive their works are, but to get their take on it all. Imagine watching the tv dramatisations with them!
How is beautiful to listen an awesome audiobook after working day. Good job!!!
Thank you so much, really glad you enjoyed this one!
WELL DONE!
Thanks Andrew! Hope you enjoyed this obscure slice of Dickens 🎧
Narrator,can’t get better ❤
That’s very kind of you. Thanks so much!
I enjoyed the story, thanks for your effort
Many thanks for listening ❤️
I’m so glad to have come upon your channel! I am enjoying listening to these stories and learning a bit of history thru Dickens’ satirical humor.
You and me both, Cathy! Thank you and keep your eyes peeled for the next 👀
Elliot, I just discovered your fantastic channel! I had no idea that Charles Dickens wrote a children's story or maybe a few! Consider me your newest subscriber and liker! Thank you for the great content! Cheers from across the pond!
Cheers to you and thank you for subscribing! Lots more classic material to come ❤️
@@classicaudiobookswithelliot Woo hoo! I ❤❤❤ the sound of that! Thanks Elliot!
ah, just the thing I was looking for ! very enjoyable reading, thank you Elliot
Glad you found it, Juniper!
Well, well, it just goes to show that uneatable British railway food and questionable customer service have a much longer tradition behind them than I realised!
There was me thinking I just had high standards! But if Mr Dickens agrees… 😂
He did, and in 1866!
Why u gotta spoil it
Funny that these same exact methods have been dutifully employed at every Starbucks ever.
😆. Some things never change
Spoilt again Elliot. ❤ best narrator to date. Cheers .😊😊
You’re so welcome, Louise. Thanks so much for continuing to listen ❤️
Wonderful… 👌🏼
Glad you enjoyed this one!
@@classicaudiobookswithelliot Yes, it’s quality listening. ☕️
This is full audiobook?
This is the full story, but is part of a larger collection
Thanks @@classicaudiobookswithelliot
I'm sorry but this sounds like someone practicing at learning a British accent. 😢
😂 I should be fairly well practiced as I’m a Brit and have lived in London my entire life! Dickens also writes dialectically too, removing aitches on certain words and inserting them in others that don’t need them! Thanks for listening 📚
@@classicaudiobookswithelliot I'll give it a listen again. Thank you for being patient with me.
That’s great, thanks Valerie. It’s certainly an unusual story!
you never met any Londoner, obviously! 😂
Great job of reading in the voice of a young, cocky busboy at a Charles Dicken’s Moody Mugs-they-be Station! 🎉❤🎉
It’s got that teenage-early adulthood, irreverent, side-cracking, smirky, & an artistically dramatic mimic of his customers who come in thinking “high & mighty” of themselves along their way- true fun! 🪭📚📖🪄🎁✍🏼
Haha thanks Evelan. A really unusual story, clearly borne out of so much derision and contempt from Dickens himself
@@classicaudiobookswithelliot Sarcasm from one of Victorian’s finest, emotional provocateurs! A bit of a change, as usually I am upset at the injustice, misery, & misers within his stories. This one is vaudeville on a Friday night, instead of those “Sunday evening morality novellas” he orchestrated with ink over the industrialized musical mayhem of his day.
It reminds me a bit like the rhythm & jest of
Dickens was often very empathetic…even here, for haven’t we all had a run-in, or two, with the “non-service service” person.
Note:
While I imagine Dickens an A-Level or College 101 in the UK, my exposure beyond the Christmas Carol has truly been through YT; so, I appreciate the comment section for a bit of seminar like reflection and I do enjoy the idea that my insights might bring a bit of “understanding laughter”. Thank you for contributing to my exposure to literature.
You’re so welcome, Evelan. It’s great to have you. To be totally honest with you, this was a story I was completely unfamiliar with. These collections which would have appeared in magazines and periodicals seem to have faded into relative obscurity but are well worth the resurrection in my opinion!
@@classicaudiobookswithelliot The work you do to bring these stories out of obscurity is similar to a one of those “pay it forward” random acts of kindness to a stranger. It is a gift “anonymously” given to the global internet community in the present but from the past. There is much to be thankful for in the energetic exchange of past ideas being paid forward. 🗄️🗞️📚📰📔👀🧠🫀🗣️📖.
