An Apple Books Classic edition.
One of Charles Dickens’ most cherished novels, The Old Curiosity Shop still captures the hearts of readers around the world.
Nell Trent lives above her grandfather’s cluttered London shop, trying futilely to protect him as his gambling problem pushes them into the grasp of the cruel moneylender Quilp. When the pair are eventually forced to flee, their journey reveals stark contrasts in the world: Some people offer refuge to strangers, while others prey on the helpless.
According to legend, American readers crowded New York’s docks awaiting the final part of this beloved serialized novel. Its themes of devotion and resilience remain just as compelling today. A moving blend of compassion and suspense, it endures as a timeless story of steadfast love in the face of hardship.
Quotes
From WikiquoteWhat is the odds so long as the fire of soul is kindled at the taper of conwiviality, and the wing of friendship never moults a feather! What is the odds so long as the spirit is expanded by means of rosy wine, and the present moment is the least happiest of our existence!
She's the ornament of her sex.
Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of friendship; and pass the rosy wine.
To procure a refreshing sneeze at anytime by merely stepping out on the staircase (Fortunate location of Dick Swivellers "Chambers" above a Tabacconists)<
