In true Dickensian fashion, The Old Curiosity Shop offers a humorous yet devastating depiction of both the most honourable and most corrupt members of 19th-century English society.

Hailed by Queen Victoria as being ‘interesting and cleverly written', The Old Curiosity Shop introduces listeners to the uniquely colourful characters of Nell Trent, her young friend, Kit, her doting grandfather and the evil moneylender to whom they all fall prey, Daniel Quilp.

A gentle and caring young orphan, Nell works in her grandfather’s shop alongside her only friend, the honest and hardworking Kit.

Upon discovering that their shop and income have been gambled away and are now in the hands of the wicked and grotesquely deformed Daniel Quilp, Nell and her grandfather are forced to flee from their hometown and throw themselves on the mercy of strangers; forever to be hunted by the malevolent ghosts of their past.

First published in 1841 in serial form, The Old Curiosity Shop experienced worldwide success and was praised by the public and critics alike. In this modern and original adaptation, Jessie Buckley delivers an astute and powerful performance which is guaranteed to intrigue listeners from the start.

Jessie Buckley’s narration was excellent. This is my 4th Dickens I’ve listened to on audible & I wish she would have narrated all of them. Each voice was unique making it easy to picture each character. Worth listening just to hear Quilp’s evil laugh!! So entertaining.

Amazing

One challenge with narrating, especially these Victorian novels where there's numerous characters and their interactions so complex and varied. This narrator kept each character unique. At any given time you recognize which character is speaking and each character has their own style, making the story more believable.

Each character is clearly identified and maintains individual character.

Three narration was outstanding. One could feel the frustration, dispare, Joy and deep sorrow. I ugly cried at Nell's death, the grandfather's confusion, and the little boy who knew Nell would die before Spring.

Brilliant Performance

Since most of the characters were male, I would have preferred a male narrator. Buckley did a great job, though.

This recording of The Old Curiosity is one of the best Audible books I’ve heard. The narrator was masterful, and the story very engaging. Dickens was a true virtuoso at setting a scene, sketching characters, and building suspense.

Narrator was amazing

Like all of Dickens’ stories This unfolds very slowly, and in great detail. Jesse Buckley’s performance is remarkable. There is a lot of poetry in the old curiosity shop. The narrative descriptions are sometimes rambling. They are, nevertheless, beguiling; worth a read, worth a listen.

Brilliant performance.
