Nicholas Nickleby - Charles Dickens

On his comical and satirical adventures up and down the country, our hero confronts a large and varied cast of characters, including Wackford Squeers, the fantastic ogre of a schoolmaster, and Vincent Crummles, the grandiloquent ham actor. Punishing wickedness, befriending the helpless, strutting the stage, and falling in love, Nicholas shares some of his creator`s energy and earnestness as he faces the pressing issues of early Victorian society.
