It was a gloomy autumn evening, and he thought the old place had never looked so dismal as in its dreary twilight. - one can almost feel the Victorian fog around him. The way Dickens makes the reader feel with his descriptions is why his books are absolute classics.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56489514828155,"sku":"10933309","price":8.81,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/files\/orig_533054_jpg.jpg?v=1791284458","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/charles-dickens-old-curiosity-shop-chapman-hall-c1908","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
