Charles Dickens, 1843. 5 chapters in 214 pages of about 125 words.
Ebenezer Scrooge, a miser who hates Christmas, is visited by the ghost of his old partner and by three spirits who show him his past, his present and the future he is heading for. Charles Dickens wrote it in a few weeks in 1843, and it has never been out of print.
It is short, five chapters that Dickens called staves, and its long, rolling sentences full of commas and semicolons make steady practice for rhythm. Many people type it in December, a few pages a day.
Each stave ends at a natural pause in the story, so a stave a day makes a week of practice with a beginning, a middle and an end.
