A '''novella''' is a work of [[prose]] [[fiction]], in length falling between a [[short story]] and a full-blown [[novel]]. ''The Old Man and the Sea'' by [[Ernest Hemingway]] is an example of a novella. As well as being shorter than novels, novellas tend to be simpler, following only a single narrative line as short stories do. For example, [[Charles Dickens]]' novella ''A Christmas Carol'' is entirely focused on the events of a single night in the life of a single character, Ebeneezer Scrooge.
