About the book

Charles Dickens's Nicholas Nickleby follows a young man who must support his mother and sister after the sudden death of his father leaves the family without money. Their wealthy uncle Ralph Nickleby offers assistance, but his cold and calculating nature soon creates further difficulties. Nicholas takes employment at the brutal Dotheboys Hall, where he encounters the abused boy Smike and eventually rebels against the school's cruel headmaster, Wackford Squeers. Filled with adventure, comedy and memorable villains, the novel attacks exploitation and cruelty while celebrating friendship, courage and family loyalty.
