Review:
The death of Little Nell tends to overshadow much else in the novel, such as the fiendish, wife-abusing, dwarf Quilp and Nell's grandfather, enmeshed in the net of compulsive gambling that ultimately kills the child he loves so dearly. Read by Dickens's brightest star. --- Rachel Redford, The Observer
About the Author:
Charles Dickens's early childhood was happy until his father was imprisoned for debt. The 12-year-old Dickens then began working ten-hour days in a boot-blacking factory pasting labels on the jars of thick polish. The shocking conditions of the factory made a profound impression on him. His anger at his situation and at the conditions endured by working-class people became major themes in his fiction.
