About this listen

 The most gorgeously theatrical of all Dickens's novels, Nicholas Nickleby follows the delightful adventures of a hearty young hero in 19th-century England. Nicholas, a gentleman's son fallen upon hard times, must set out to make his way in the world. His journey is accompanied by some of the most swaggering scoundrels and unforgettable eccentrics in Dickens's pantheon.

From the dungeon-like Yorkshire boys' boarding school run by the cruel Wackford Squeers to the high-spirited stage of Vincent Crummles' extraordinary acting troupe, Nicholas Nickleby is a triumph of the imagination, bursting with color, humor, and poignant social commentary.

I must admit that I struggled to really connect with this novel .
This is despite having read and enjoyed many of Dickens novels there seemed to be a shallow feel to it which the excellent narration struggled to bring to life.Not one that I shall read again I'm afraid.

Not one of his best

Not only a classic piece of literature, but also nicely read by Simon Vance.... the most outstandingly awesome Yorkshire accent ever (Note - I don't say it's a good Yorkshire accent, but it is most amazing. Really. )

Story telling at its best

I decided to go through the works of Charles Dickens during the spate of lockdowns. Simon Vance’s performance and voice characterisations thoroughly engaged me throughout this story.

Simon Vance brings it alive

Fantastic reading of this novel, the actor is superb and incredibly gifted in the different voices for the different characters.

Incredible diversity in the actor's voice
