Nicholas Nickelby

Delightful Dickens... Would love to talk to my grandfather, Christopher Spencer, about this book. He had an old set of Dickens volumes that I remember seeing in the corner of his living room in Cliffside Park, New Jersey. He and Grandma were born in Liverpool and came to America in the early 20th century. He was a proofreader for a newspaper in New Jersey, and a gentle loving man. He is missed. I hope to see him again in heaven.

Anyway, he was a quiet lover of Dickens...
