The Antiquities Shop

«The Antiquities Shop» — is a intertwining of realistic narrative and fairy tale with elements of gothic, featuring whimsical, strange, and grotesque characters, dark mysteries. The novel about Nell, a little girl «of infinitely sweet nature», her grandfather, a senile card player and dreamer, and the cruel dwarf moneylender Quilp who pursues them, raises the eternal theme of the confrontation between good and evil. One of the most touching novels by Charles Dickens.
