 | Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens, John Carey, Wanda McCaddon
Dickens`s huge, rambling novel tells the story of the Nickleby family after the death of the father, when the family is tyrannized by their nefarious Uncle Ralph. Nicholas becomes a schoolmaster at a brutal Yorkshire school run by the evil-hearted Wackford Squeers, who treats his young charges with neglectful brutality. Nicholas and the orphan boy, Smike, run away and join a troupe of traveling actors. Hearing that his sister Kate is in danger, Nicholas travels to London and foils his uncle`s vile plans for her. The frail and saintly (if simpleminded) Smike dies, after which it is revealed that he was Uncle Ralph`s son. Uncle Ralph hangs himself, leaving the tormented Nickleby family in peace at last.
