*** Original and Unabridged Content. Included biography, quotes, review… Made available by 3N CLASSIC BOOKCASE.*** This ebook includes: - The Old Curiosity Shop - Original and complete content with classic illustration pictures - Charles Dickens Biography - Charles Dickens quotes - The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens Review - The Old Curiosity Shop - Quotes Synopsis: The fourth novel published by Charles Dickens, The Old Curiosity Shop was initially published in weekly installments between 1840 and 1841 and follows the poignant journey of the virtuous young girl Nell and her loving grandfather as they are forced to bear the hardships of life. Dickens cleverly employs contrasting eloquent characters as a utility to bring out the dissimilarity and injustice present in society. The novel introduces orphan Nell Trent and her grandfather, who live in a run-down store that is distinctive for its worthless bits and pieces. Even though Nell does not complain about their impoverished state, her grandfather is troubled by his resolve to ensure the financial wellbeing of his granddaughter and rescue her from poverty after his death. However, this obsession only leads him downhill, as he turns to frequent gambling escapades, which are funded by the vile Daniel Quilp. Consequently, the grandfather is unable to pay back the loans, and the scheming Quilp is quite happy to sell all the merchandise within the store, while also forcing the two residents to vacate. Subsequently, Nell and her grandfather begin their journey out in the open, searching for paradise while living the life of beggars and experiencing the hardships of destitution. Despite their already dire circumstance, the pair is further burdened by the pursuit of Quilp, who is hot on their trail with the belief that they have some hidden fortune. Sadly, Nell and her grandfather seem to be entangled in a web of misfortune as they become shadowed by the malevolent Daniel Quilp, her selfish brother Fred and his friend Swiveller, as their chances of a new life grow slimmer with every passing moment. Dickens’s use of suggestive language, evocative imagery, distinct characters and vivid vignettes, effectively set the foundation for one of his most celebrated pieces. Furthermore, Dickens also proficiently employs hyperboles, sarcasm, humor, and a combination of themes to generate the essence of the human condition. Due to the sentimental portrayal of Nell and her grandfather, their grueling journey in search of peace and their endless supply of hope, the novel remains a classic with the ability to capture the imagination of the audience. Additionally, it stays close to the heart of its reader as it evokes heartfelt sympathy and demonstrates the everlasting battle between good and evil. ENJOY THE FULL STORY!
The Old Curiosity Shop is situated at 13-14 Portsmouth Street London WC2. It is a 16th Century half timbered building that reputedly served as a model in Dickens mind for the original home of Little Nell and her father. This may or may not be true but the shop is almost certainly the oldest shop in central London. Phyllis Nicklin photographed the shop in the mid 1930's, at this stage of the existance of the shop it looked much more "Dickensian" than it does now, today the shop presents a more sanitized face for the eager tourist.

The Old Curiosity Shop follows the life of Nell Trent and her grandfather, both residents of The Old Curiosity Shop in London. It was one of two novels (the other being Barnaby Rudge) which Dickens published along with short stories in his weekly serial Master Humphrey's Clock, which lasted from 1840 to 1841. The Old Curiosity Shop was so popular that New York readers stormed the wharf when the ship bearing the final installment arrived in 1841, shouting to arriving sailors (who might have already read the final chapters in the United Kingdom), "Is Little Nell alive?" This new digital edition of The Old Curiosity Shop includes an image gallery showcasing first edition covers, Dickens portraits and original illustrations from the novel.

The Old Curiosity Shop | Dickens | Wordsworth Classics Book The Old Curiosity Shop (1840-41), with its combination of the sentimental, the grotesque and the socially concerned, and its story of pursuit and courage, which sets the downtrodden and the plucky against the malevolent and the villainous, was an immediate popular success. Little Nell quickly became one of Dickens' most celebrated characters, who so captured the imagination of his readers that while the novel was being serialized, many of them wrote to him about her fate.Made in United Kingdom Product Language: English608 pages
