The death of Little Nell tends to overshadow much else in the novel, such as the fiendish, wife-abusing, dwarf Quilp and Nell's grandfather, enmeshed in the net of compulsive gambling that ultimately kills the child he loves so dearly. Read by Dickens's brightest star. - Rachel Redford, The Observer  Be the first to write a customer review
