Little Dorrit

When Arthur Clennam returns to England after many years abroad, his curiosity is piqued by the presence in his mother's house of a young seamstress, Amy Dorrit.

Befriending Amy, he develops a special bond with the girl he calls Little Dorrit.

An investigation instigated by Arthur uncovers a secret family wealth - freeing Mr Dorrit from prison, and thrusting him and his brood into the upper echelons of Dickensian society.

Their new wealth and status come with both humorous and tragic consequences, as they ingratiate themselves with the colourful great and good. All the while, a dark villain threatens to spill some shocking family secrets, and romance simmers.
