«The Old Curiosity Shop» is the classic novel by Charles Dickens, published by Wordsworth Editions in paperback (608 pages, in English).
The story follows young Nell Trent and her grandfather, owner of an antique shop, as they flee through Victorian England hounded by the evil and vengeful dwarf Quilp. Along the way they encounter memorable characters such as the reveller Dick Swiveller or the servant known as the Marchioness, in a narrative that combines the sentimental and the grotesque with Dickens's characteristic social criticism.
The work belongs to the Wordsworth Classics collection, with an introduction and notes by Peter Preston and illustrations by Hablot K. Browne (Phiz) and George Cruickshank.
Recommended for readers interested in classic Victorian fiction and in one of Charles Dickens's most celebrated and moving novels.
