Little Nell Trent lives among the dusty antiques of her grandfather’s London shop, unaware that the old man is gambling away everything in secret. When the grotesque dwarf Daniel Quilp seizes their home, the pair take to the roads of England, passing through waxworks, Punch-and-Judy shows and industrial towns, while friends and enemies alike try to track them down.
