E-text prepared by Juliet Sutherland, Asad Razzaki, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Tales from Dickens" by Hallie Erminie Rives is a collection of adapted stories drawn from the works of Charles Dickens, likely written in the early 20th century. The book serves as an introduction to some of Dickens's most beloved characters and narratives, including tales about "Little Nell" from "The Old Curiosity Shop," Oliver Twist from "Oliver Twist," and other notable figures from his extensive literary repertoire. This collection aims to bring light to Dickens's exploration of themes surrounding poverty, kindness, and the struggles of the human spirit. The opening portion of the book begins with a nostalgic tribute to Charles Dickens, detailing his early life, struggles, and the origins of his literary genius. It touches upon the profound impact of his difficult childhood experiences, including his father’s imprisonment for debt and his subsequent reliance on hard work and storytelling as a means of expression. Following this introduction, the narrative transitions into a summary of "The Old Curiosity Shop," where we meet the central characters, Little Nell and her grandfather, Mr. Trent. Their poignant struggles against poverty and the malevolent influence of Quilp set the stage for a tale of resilience and the bond between family in the face of adversity.
