The sad fate of Little Nell has captured the hearts of millions of readers. Doing everything he can to ensure his granddaughter doesn't die in poverty like her parents did, Nell's grandfather succumbs to the temptation to gamble. Using The Old Curiosity Shop as collateral, when he's unable to pay his debts, the pain becomes too much to bear, and he loses his mental stability. Nell takes her grandfather and sets out wandering to become beggars, slowly losing her health - - but never her grace, charm, and fortitude - -along the way.

The Nonesuch edition contains full-color illustrations selected by Dickens himself, by artists including Hablot Knight Browne ("Phiz"), George Cruikshank, John Leech, Robert Seymour, and George Cattermole. The Nonesuch Dickens books are printed on natural cream-shade high quality stock, quarter bound in bonded leather with cloth sides, include a ribbon marker, and feature special printed endpapers. Each volume is wrapped in a protective, clear acetate jacket. 624 pages, hardcover.
