      When Nicholas Nickleby is left penniless after his father's death, he appeals to his wealthy uncle to help him find work and to protect his mother and sister. But Ralph Nickleby proves both hard-hearted and unscrupulous, and Nicholas finds himself forced to make his own way in the world.

      ''A revelation ... as well as being sympathetic to the plight of children, it is hilarious'' A. N. Wilson

      The hero of Dickens''s flamboyantly exuberant novel, Nicholas Nickleby, is left penniless after his father''s death and forced to make his own way in the world. His adventures give Dickens the opportunity to portray an extraordinary gallery of rogues and eccentrics: Wackford Squeers, the tyrannical headmaster of Dotheboys Hall; the tragic orphan Smike, rescued by Nicholas; and the gloriously theatrical Mr and Mrs Crummle and their daughter, the ''infant phenomenon''. Nicholas Nickleby is characterized by Dickens''s outrage at social injustice, but it also reveals his comic genius at its most unerring.
