I was just about to post the very same thing ferney - but then i wondered if I'd read it wrongly? I've just finished Curiosity Shop (believe it not, never read it before, it's always been one I've convinced myself that of course I read it years ago. And Quilp - gosh, he's the stuff of nightmares!)
I've also just got down from the shelf The Christmas Stories - Carol, The Chimes and Cricket on the Hearth I never tire of Dickens and a while back, in a charity shop, I picked up some old bound volumes of unknown (to me) stories/journals such as The Uncommercial Traveller, Pictures from Italy, etc. I find his many 'grotesques' aren't that at all, they are just so true to life, you meet them all the time!
