Set in London, the story revolves around Nell Trent and her grandfather, who face dire circumstances after he loses their savings to gambling. In a desperate bid to secure Nell's future, they flee to the Midlands, becoming beggars. Meanwhile, Nell's brother Frederick, driven by greed, partners with the unscrupulous Quip to track them down. This classic tale, first serialized in the early 1840s, showcases Dickens' keen social commentary and vivid characterizations, and is now presented with an insightful introduction by G. K. Chesterton.
