Death, innocence, sacrifice and corruption - The Old Curiosity Shop is vintage Dickens. Provoking an unprecedented outpouring of public grief when it was first published, it follows the story of Little Nell and her feckless grandfather. Forced to leave their magical shop of curiosities in London, they are pursued across the English countryside by the grotesquely evil dwarf Quilp. They escape - but at what cost? Part tragedy, part allegory, this is Dickens at his most intense; drawing on his own experiences, he weaves a story of extraordinary emotional power.

If anyone knows how to grab and hold a Classic Literature audience, it's Charles Dickens. Loved for such classics as Great Expectations, The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby and David Copperfield, Dickens, who was born on February 7, 1812 in Portsmouth, The United Kingdom, and lived until June 09, 1870, is amongst the most regarded figures in the genre.
