In this tale, first published serially in 1841 and 1842, Dickens follows Nell Trent, an angelic and unfailingly virtuous girl of "nearly fourteen" and her grandfather as they navigate a world populated by villains, criminals and ne'er-do-wells.

The Old Curiosity Shop is a novel by English writer Charles Dickens, published in installments between 1840 and 1841. The novel tells about the life of Nell Trent and her grandfather, living in London in an antique shop.The Old Curiosity Shop was one of two novels (the other is Barnaby Rudge) which Dickens serialized in his weekly magazine called Master Humphrey's Clock. The installments were published between 1840 and 1841 and then republished in a single volume in 1841. The novel caused a sensation at the time because the protagonist, Nell, dies in the end, which was contrary to public taste at the time which favoured happy endings. The ending sparked pubic demonstrations against the author and his decision to kill off his character.The novel tells the story of Nell Trent, a beautiful and virtuous young girl who has not attained the age of fourteen. Being an orphan, Nell lives with his grandfather (whose name is never revealed) in his antique shop, which the book its title. Although she is very much loved by her grandfather, Nell leads a lonely existence and has very few companions her own age. Her only friend is Kit, a young boy and honest employee who also lives in the shop, and whom Nell is teaching to read and write.Secretly obsessed with ensuring that Nell does not die in poverty, her grandfather turns to gambling in a misguided effort to make money. But he has little luck, and becomes heavily indebted to Daniel Quilp, a malicious and deformed money lender (who then drowns in the river Thames towards the end of the book). Unable to repay his debts, Nell's grandfather loses the store. He and Nell are driven out onto the streets and survive by begging, wandering all over London and surrounding area.Meanwhile, Nell's brother is convinced that the grandfather has hidden money for Nell and forms a plan to have his simpleton friend Mr. Swiveller marry Nell so that they can share in the supposed fortune. The two, aided by the malicious Mr. Quilp pursue Nell and her grandfather. Quilp knows that there is no money but he joins in the scheme for the simple sadistic pleasure of tormenting Nell.As Nell and her grandfather wander through Victorian England they meet different and peculiar characters, like puppeteers, the ambitious owner of a wax museum, who calls itself the "Marquise", a dog trainer, and an iron smith who speaks to the fire of his forge. After many adventures and difficulties they arrive in quiet town, where they are helped by an old man referred to as the "Bachelor". Everything now seems to be going well, but Nell is sad and lonely, and starts spending all her time in the village cemetery, which is the only place where she seems at ease. Soon Nell dies, making her grandfather and all who love her mad with grief.Many readers were dismayed by Dickens' decision to kill off his main character. But many critics found the ending melodramatic and maudlin. Oscar Wilde remarked that 'One would have to have a heart of stone to read the death of little Nell without dissolving into tears...of laughter.'
