The Old Curiosity Shop: A Tale by Charles Dickens
3.0
https://clavie.co/2020/01/29/book-review-the-old-curiosity-shop/
Curiosity Shop weaves between the travels of Little Nell and her grandfather and the doings of characters like Kit Nubbles and Dick Swiveler in London. I find that the novel reads more like a literary experiment. I love thinking of it as a “modern” fairytale for the age in which it was written. Certainly, angelic, innocent, ethereal Nell has many strange experiences on her journey through the novel, meeting both the benevolent, the malevolent, the grotesque, and the unusual.
3/5 Stars
