About This Item
Synopsis
The Old Curiosity Shop, what would become Charles Dickens’ fourth novel, was first published in 88 weekly installments in Dickens’ serial, Master Humphrey’s Clock, from April 1840 to February 1841. In a tale that survives the transcendence of time, The Old Curiosity Shop tells the story of thirteen-year-old Nell Trent and her grandfather who live in The Old Curiosity Shop, a small antique and gift store. The unnamed grandfather, desperate to leave Nell in good financial standing after his death, loses The Old Curiosity Shop to a gambling problem, forcing him and young Nell to wander the countryside.
