Suburban Sketches is a series of short stories focusing on the details of life in late 19th century American suburbia. Written in a witty and animated style, these sketches capture the colourful characters of varying race and rank who inhabit the town of Old Charlesbridge and the events which shaped their daily existence.

William Dean Howells was born in Martin's Ferry, Ohio, on 1 March 1837. Reporter, author and editor, he also served as American consul in Venice from 1861 - 1865. He was dedicated to the development of a new literature of naturalism and literary realism, and helped to spread an awareness of such writers as Tolstoy, Ibsen, and Henry James. He was also a staunch critic of racism, and was a founder member of the NAACP. Howells died in New York City on 11 May 1920.
