Little Nell Trent lives in the quiet gloom of the old curiosity shop with her ailing grandfather, for whom she cares with selfless devotion. But when they are unable to pay their debts to the stunted, lecherous and demonic money-lender Daniel Quilp, the shop is seized and they are forced to flee, thrown into a shadowy world.

''His characters are marvellous, his insights wonderful ... You don''t expect reality but you get something bigger and better'' Ruth Rendell

The Old Curiosity Shop was an instant bestseller that, even while it was criticized for its sentimentality, captured the hearts of the nation with its portrayal of little Nell Trent, who is thrown into a terrifying world when her beloved grandfather is unable to pay his debts to the loathsome Quilp. Alongside the pathos of the innocent, tragic Nell are some of Dickens''s greatest characters: the ne''er-do''well Dick Swiveller, the mannish lawyer Sally Brass, the half-starved ''Marchioness'' and the lustful Quilp himself, a creation of demonic power and cruelty.
