About this listen

The Old Curiosity Shop follows young Nell Trent and her grandfather, an eccentric and kind-hearted shopkeeper, as they struggle to survive in the shadow of poverty. The old curiosity shop, filled with strange and forgotten treasures, becomes a symbol of their fragile world—one that is constantly threatened by forces beyond their control.

As they flee from the sinister and obsessive villain, Daniel Quilp, who seeks to manipulate and destroy them, the novel takes readers on a journey filled with drama, heartbreak, and unexpected moments of tenderness. Along the way, Dickens introduces a colorful array of characters, each with their own hopes and flaws, painting a vivid picture of Victorian London’s social injustices.

At once a gripping adventure and a profound exploration of human nature, The Old Curiosity Shop is a deeply emotional story about love, sacrifice, and the pursuit of happiness. With its unforgettable characters and Dickens’ trademark blend of humor and pathos, this novel remains one of his most beloved works.
