Going into Society is a short story written by English author Charles Dickens (1812-1870). It was first published in 1858, a hilarious story with Dickens s masterly story-within-a-story format, about a sideshow and the various characters inhabit it - focused on a circus in London s West End especially a dwarf who seeks to gain property and go into society. Someone sets up a circus in a respectable neighborhood. The main attraction is a dwarf, who belongs to the circus. He was a un-common small man, he really was. Certainly not so small as he was made out to be, but where IS your Dwarf as is? One day, he happily wins a lottery that allows him to a prize of a large sum of money. He takes two other members of the circus with him only to discover, all too soon that his money did not last for as long as he liked. When the performers begin mingling with the community s bankers and businessmen, hijinks ensue.
