| Publisher Description: "Old Curiosity Shop" is most Dickensian in the sense that it exudes everything Dickens created in his career: outrageous characters including an angelic heroine and impossibly theatrical villain, two kind-hearted gentlemen and hilarious comic relief. The story follows the fate of Little Nell, who together with his grandfather embarks on a wandering trek through England to find a place where they can live quietly. Around her and old friend Kit appear the colorful characters such as incredibly cheerful, optimistic Dick Swiveller, or grotesque, villainous Quilp (who somehow attracted a pretty lady's attention for he got married ) On top of them, you encounter a lot of vividly described characters only Dickens can create. |
