The Old Curiosity Shop is the story of Little Nell, a beautiful and virtuous young girl who lives with her grandfather in his shop of curiosities. Her only friend is Kit, an honest young lad who works at the shop, and whom she is teaching to write. Unbeknownst to Nell, her grandfather is obsessed with their precarious financial position, trying to make Nell a good inheritance by winning at cards. He keeps these nocturnal activities a secret but borrows heavily from the evil Quilp. Losing everything, the grandfather and Nell are forced to go on the run.

作者简介

查尔斯·狄更斯 1812 年出生于朴次茅斯附近，他的父亲是那里海军薪资办公室的一名职员。 1823 年，全家搬到伦敦，但他们的财富严重受损。 当狄更斯的父亲因债务入狱时，狄更斯被送到一家黑色仓库工作。 这两次经历都深深地影响了这位未来的小说家。 1833年，他开始为报纸和杂志撰写故事，并于1836年开始连载《匹克威克外传》。 此后，狄更斯在接下来的二十年里出版了他的主要小说，从尼古拉斯·尼克尔比到《小杜丽》。 他还编辑了《Household Words》和《All the Year Round》杂志。 狄更斯于 1870 年 6 月去世。

Charles Dickens was born in 1812 near Portsmouth where his father was a clerk in the navy pay office. The family moved to London in 1823, but their fortunes were severely impaired. Dickens was sent to work in a blacking-warehouse when his father was imprisoned for debt. Both experiences deeply affected the future novelist. In 1833 he began contributing stories to newspapers and magazines, and in 1836 started the serial publication of Pickwick Papers. Thereafter, Dickens published his major novels over the course of the next twenty years, from Nicholas Nickleby to Little Dorrit. He also edited the journals Household Words and All the Year Round. Dickens died in June 1870.
