Joe Warden lives in luxury at the Warden family mansion, Thattlebee Hall. It's bad enough that his parents are rich and uncaring, but even worse than them is Granny. She never feeds her pet cat, she has terrible table manners and no dress sense – but above all, she's really mean and nasty!
One of Dickens' earlier novels, dating from 1839, it charts the fortunes of an honourable young man, Nicholas Nickleby, who has set out to make his way in the world. Dickens presents his remarkably vivid display of Victorian characters and the life they lead, from the generous to the fated to crushed. Naxos
