Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Old Curiosity Shop tells the story of Nell Trent, a beautiful and virtuous young girl of "not quite fourteen". An orphan, she lives with her maternal grandfather (whose name is never revealed) in his shop of odds and ends. Her grandfather loves her dearly, and Nell does not complain, but she lives a lonely existence with almost no friends her own age. Her only friend is Kit, an honest boy employed at the shop, whom she is teaching to write. Secretly obsessed with ensuring that Nell does not die in poverty as her parents did, her grandfather attempts to provide Nell with a good inheritance through gambling at cards. He keeps his nocturnal games a secret, but borrows heavily from the evil Daniel Quilp, a malicious, grotesquely deformed, hunchbacked dwarf moneylender. In the end, he gambles away what little money they have, and Quilp seizes the opportunity to take possession of the shop and evict Nell and her grandfather. Her grandfather suffers a breakdown that leaves him bereft of his wits, and Nell takes him away to the Midlands of England, to live as beggars.Convinced that the old man has stored up a large and prosperous fortune for Nell, her wastrel older brother, Frederick, convinces the good-natured but easily led Dick Swiveller to help him track Nell down, so that Swiveller can marry Nell and share her supposed inheritance with Frederick. To this end, they join forces with Quilp, who knows full well that there is no fortune, but sadistically chooses to 'help' them to enjoy the misery it will inflict on all concerned. Quilp begins to try to track Nell down, but the fugitives are not easily discovered. To keep Dick Swiveller under his eye, Quilp arranges for him to be taken as a clerk by Quilp's lawyer, Mr. Brass. At the Brass firm, Dick befriends the mistreated maidservant and nicknames her 'the Marchioness'. Nell, having fallen in with a number of characters, some villainous and some kind, succeeds in leading her grandfather to safety in a far-off village (identified by Dickens as Tong, Shropshire), but this comes at a considerable cost to Nell's health.Meanwhile, Kit, having lost his job at the curiosity shop, has found new employment with the kind Mr and Mrs Garland. Here he is contacted by a mysterious 'single gentleman' who is looking for news of Nell and her grandfather. The 'single gentleman' and Kit's mother go after them unsuccessfully, and encounter Quilp, who is also hunting for the runaways. Quilp forms a grudge against Kit and has him framed as a thief. Kit is sentenced to transportation. However, Dick Swiveller proves Kit's innocence with the help of his friend the Marchioness. Quilp is hunted down and dies trying to escape his pursuers. At the same time, a coincidence leads Mr Garland to knowledge of Nell's whereabouts, and he, Kit, and the single gentleman (who turns out to be the younger brother of Nell's grandfather) go to find her. Sadly, by the time they arrive, Nell has died as a result of her arduous journey. Her grandfather, already mentally infirm, refuses to admit she is dead and sits every day by her grave waiting for her to come back until, a few months later, he dies himself.

Book excerpt: THE OLD CURIOSITY SHOPThe Old Curiosity Shop tells the story of Nell Trent, a beautiful and virtuous girl of "not quite fourteen". Orphaned, she lives with her maternal grandfather, who remains nameless, in the middle of the junk shop of her antique shop. His existence is solitary, almost exclusively devoted to the love of the old man and to the care that he lavishes on him; without a real companion or companion of her age, her only friend is Kit, the young employee of the shop to whom she tries to teach writing.Secretly obsessed by the fear that his granddaughter will die in poverty like his parents, the old man leads a secret life and is absent every night. It is only after fifty pages that the mystery of his absences is revealed: he plays large sums of money cards and, to guarantee his stakes, regularly borrows from a usurer, the dwarf Daniel Quilp who, deformed and sadistic, terrorizes his entourage, including his young wife, and practices sarcasm and irony with virtuosity. Soon, all the goods of the old man are pledged and Quilp takes possession of the place.The ruined old antiquarian sinks into a deep melancholy and his life remains in abeyance for long months, while Quilp and his henchman Sampson Brass, a man of recognized but servile law, camp on the spot. Nell watches his grandfather day and night and, as soon as he regains some strength, is secretly decided between the two lonely to escape on the roads and live under the stars begging. Their steps, guided at first by chance alone, lead them gradually into the Midlands, following a road strewn with pitfalls and terrors, which was more or less identified.Meanwhile, convinced that the old man had amassed a fortune for his granddaughter, Nell's prodigal brother, Frederick, persuaded the na�ve Dick Swiveller to look for them so that Nell could marry him and grandfather's legacy falls into their hands. To this end, they are allied with Quilp, well aware that he has nothing to gain but that his sadism encourages us to encourage their hopes to better enjoy the distress of all.The dwarf therefore goes hunting; tracking is difficult because the fugitives leave few traces. Dick Swiveller is placed as a clerk in the Sampson Brass study, so as to keep an eye on him. There, he becomes friends with a badly-treated good-to-do, whom he nicknamed "the Marquise (the Marchioness)". For her part, the young Nell, after meeting characters, some of whom are kind and others obnoxious, manages to lead her grandfather to a peaceful and safe retreat, perhaps Tong, in Shropshire County. West Midlands. The trip, the bad weather, the privations, however, were right of her health, and the girl soon became ill.Kit, meanwhile, left without work, found a job at the excellent Mr and Mrs Garland he met randomly from the streets. He is visited by a mysterious gentleman, apparently single (a single gentleman), who wants to know what happened to Nell and the old man. The gentleman in question and Kit's mother then go looking for them. Along the way, they meet Quilp who takes Kit in awe and arranges to have him accused of theft and sentenced to deportation. Dick Swiveller, however, helped by his friend the Marquise, proves the innocence of the young man, and it is Quilp who, from now on, is chased, until, victim of an accident, he s' bogged down the Thames trying to escape his pursuers.The denouement approaches: a happy coincidence allows Mr Garland to learn where Nell and his grandfather are hiding; he goes off to find them in the company of Kit and the unmarried gentleman, the younger brother of the old man, we learn, therefore, the heroine's great-uncle. Alas, the girl has already succumbed, which denies the grandfather who, having lost his reason, spends his time sitting on the grave to moan and wait for her to come back. A few months later, he dies in turn. So ends the story of Nell Trent's antique store.
