Though published well over a century ago (1840-41), The Old Curiosity Shop has lost none of its charm for modern readers. Each new generation thrills to the experience of walking through the doorway of the musty Ole Curiosity Shop…and into the lives of Little Nell and her grandfather, the villainous dwarf Quilp, Sampson Brass, Dick Swiveller, and Mrs. Jarley, not to mention the Punch-and-Judy men, jugglers, gypsies, dancing dogs and traveling wax works which make this tale one of Dickens’ most delightful.
