Set in Victorian London, the story follows Nell Trent and her grandfather, who live in a curiosity shop. In a bid to secure Nell's future, her grandfather's gambling leads to financial ruin. Meanwhile, Nell's brother Frederick, driven by greed, partners with the unscrupulous Quip to track down the pair, who have fled to the Midlands as beggars. This classic tale, originally serialized in Master Humphrey's Clock, showcases Dickens' keen social commentary and character development, now republished with an introduction by G. K. Chesterton.
