The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Charles Dickens's 1841 novel follows Little Nell Trent, who lives with her grandfather in his shop of curiosities. When his secret gambling leaves them in the power of the grotesque, malevolent dwarf Daniel Quilp, they flee London and wander the English countryside. Featuring the comic Dick Swiveller, it was a sensation in its day.
