Description

Little Nell and her loving, but gambling-addicted, grandfather run a curiosity shop. When the grandfather loses their money to the hideous, vindictive moneylender Daniel Quilp, they are forced to flee London. They wander the English countryside, seeking safety and earning a meager living. Despite the relentless persecution by Quilp and their hardships, Nell maintains her virtue and protects her grandfather until the devastating, yet peaceful, close of her weary life.

Part of the Popular Edition of the Complete Works of Charles Dickens.
