Synopsis
A young girl named Nell lives with her grandfather, Mr Trent, who owns a shop in London. After failing to repay a loan he took out, he is forced to flee with Nell. Together, they embark on a journey to find Nell's mother, who resides somewhere in Great Britain.
Background
Sasurai no Shoujo Nell is based on The Old Curiosity Shop, a novel by Charles Dickens. Many of the plot points were altered and the overall tone of the series is notably more positive. It was the last show of the Kirin Meikyoku Roman Gekijou programming block dedicated to stories taking place in foreign countries, and the only one to feature 26 episodes instead of 13.
