About this book
The Old Curiosity Shop, what would become Charles Dickens’
fourth novel, was first published in 88 weekly installments in Dickens’ serial,
Master Humphrey’s Clock, from April 1840 to February 1841. In a tale that
survives the transcendence of time, The Old Curiosity Shop tells the story of
thirteen-year-old Nell Trent and her grandfather who live in The Old Curiosity
Shop, a small antique and gift store. The unnamed grandfather, desperate to
leave Nell in good financial standing after his death, loses The Old Curiosity
Shop to a gambling problem, forcing him and young Nell to wander the
countryside.
First Edition Identification
