Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, The
From Charles Dickens' classic novel: The death of their father has thrown the Nickleby family into chaos. They are forced to beg for protection from Mr Nickelby's wealthy brother, Ralph Nickelby, a cruel and vengeful man with no regard for his relations.
