"A House to Let" is a novella by Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Elizabeth Gaskell and Adelaide Anne Procter.

It was originally published in 1858 in the Christmas edition of Dickens Household Words magazine. Each of the contributors wrote a chapter and the story was edited by Dickens.

The plot concerns an elderly woman, Sophonisba, who notices signs of life in a supposedly empty dilapidated house (the eponymous "House to Let") opposite her own and employs the efforts of an elderly admirer, Jabez Jarber, and her servant, Trottle, to discover what is happening within.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870), also known as "Boz", was the foremost English novelist of the Victorian era, as well as a vigorous social campaigner. Considered one of the English languages greatest writers, he was acclaimed for his rich storytelling and memorable characters, and achieved massive worldwide popularity in his lifetime.

The popularity of his novels and short stories has meant that not one has ever gone out of print. Dickens wrote serialized novels, the usual format for fiction at the time, and each new part of his stories was eagerly anticipated by the reading public.
