Summary

Dickens' exuberant novel charts the rise of its young hero Nicholas Nickleby, who progresses from an impoverished youngster gladly accepting his uncle's offer of help, to an assured businessman capable of thwarting villainous plans. The book unfolds in a series of vivid scenes, starting with Nicholas accompanying the vicious schoolmaster, Wackford Squeers, north to the grim Dotheboys Hall. Later, Nicholas tries his fortune on the stage before the action returns to London, and to a most unexpected revelation.

Talking Classics: Nicholas Nickleby

Only half of the original recording, which lasts for 2 hours 20 minutes. It's disappointing to only have half the story.

look elsewhere

This is only 4 chapters of a much bigger book. Not value for money.
