The Old Curiosity Shop
The sensational bestselling story of Little Nell, the beautiful child thrown into a shadowy, terrifying world, seems to belong less to the history of the Victorian novel than to folklore, fairy tale, or myth. The sorrows of Nell and her grandfather are offset by Dickenss creation of a dazzling contemporary world inhabited by some of his most brilliantly drawn characters-the eloquent neer-do-well Dick Swiveller. the hungry maid known as the Marchioness. the mannish lawyer Sally Brass. Quilps brow-beaten mother-in-law. and Quilp himself, the lustful, vengeful dwarf, whose demonic energy makes a vivid counterpoint to Nells purity.
