The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens (Audiobook)

Meet your next audiobook: The Old Curiosity Shop written by Charles Dickens. A solid pick in Adults.

The sensational bestselling story of Little Nell, the beautiful child thrown into a shadowy, terrifying world, seems to belong less to the history of the Victorian novel than to folklore, fairy tale, or myth. The sorrows of Nell and her grandfather are offset by Dickens’s creation of a dazzling contemporary world inhabited by some of his most sharply drawn characters—the eloquent ne’er-do-well Dick Swiveller; the hungry maid known as the “Marchioness”; the mannish lawyer Sally Brass; Quilp’s brow-beaten mother-in-law; and Quilp himself, the lustful, vengeful dwarf, whose demonic energy makes a vivid counterpoint to Nell’s purity.

Whether you have twenty minutes or a full afternoon, the player below keeps your place as you go.
