The Old Curiosity Shop

“Let us walk through country places and sleep in fields and under trees, and never think of money again. And when you are tired, you shall stop to rest in the pleasantest place that we can find.”

Nell lives with her grandfather.

He owns a shop of curiosities, full to the rafters with faded dreams and furnished with treasures.

Nell loves her grandfather, and he loves her.

He would do anything to protect her.

But one day, they have to run away…
