The story follows little Nell and her grandfather, owners of an antique shop, as they try to escape the wicked Quilp across Victorian England. Dickens combines social criticism, allegory and memorable characters, in an atmosphere ranging from local color to melodrama, and a denouement that moved readers of his time.

Suitable for school reading and for those who prefer English classics with introduction, notes and study material.
