Description
The Old Curiosity Shop, written by Charles Dickens, is a popular and enduring novel that combines elements of sentimentality, the grotesque, and social concern. Published in 1840-41, the story follows the pursuit and courage of its downtrodden and plucky characters against the malevolent and villainous forces that surround them.
One of the most celebrated characters in the novel is Little Nell, whose fate captured the imagination of Dickens' readers during the serial publication of the book. The novel's impact was significant, with many readers writing to Dickens about Little Nell's fate, and it remains one of the most familiar and well-loved of his works.
This new edition, published in 1995, features an introduction and notes by Peter Preston, University of Nottingham, and illustrations by Hablot K. Browne (Phiz) and George Cruickshank. With its unique blend of characters and themes, The Old Curiosity Shop is a compelling read for those interested in Dickens' works.
