Although The Old Curiosity Shop is one of Charles Dickens' least-known novels, it is certainly one of his most interesting. The Old Curiosity Shop follows Little Nell Trent, who lives with his grandfather in - as the title suggests - an old curiosity shop. However, their life already isn't easy and is being made harder by a man named Daniel Quilp, who is breathing down their necks and making them feel unsafe, forcing them to flee to safety.
When it was released, The Old Curiosity Shop received incredibly positive reviews. Among the novels many admirers was Queen Victoria, who remarked that the book was "very interesting and cleverly written." In their review, a prominent book blogger remarked that Dickens is "an extraordinary novelist" and that this novel is extraordinary and incredibly interesting - mostly because of the book's structure.
