Nicholas Nickleby [Classic Tales Edition]

By: Charles Dickens

Narrated by: B. J. Harrison

When Nicholas befriends Smyke, a physically challenged runaway from a deplorable Yorkshire school, he risks his livelihood and the livelihoods of his sister and mother. Through many hardships and adventures, Nicholas demonstrates that loyalty and integrity can overcome the most devious machinations.

Featuring a glorious cast of Dickensian heroes and villains, Nicholas Nickleby is a tour de force Victorian novel. Scowl back at the cringeworthy Wackford Squeers, and laugh at the histrionics of the Crummels family. While Ralph Nickleby shows you the evils that money can bring, the Cheeryble brothers demonstrate the good. And though Nicholas walks through the fire, he also triumphs as a beacon of hope for the downtrodden.

Narrator was perfect!

Like: It was a very enjoyable listen read by a wonderful narrator of another great classic tale by Charles Dickens.

Dislike: There were so many different characters that it was sometimes hard for me to keep track of who was who (likely due to my own age related memory issues! 🫤). Happily it was very helpful to refer to a “Spark Notes” study guide that I had.

The most amazing story

I loved this book in every way there is no explaining the experience of the performance.
