Little Dorrit

William Dorrit has been a resident of the Marshalsea debtors prison for so many years that he has gained the nickname `The Father of the Marshalsea'. However, his suffering is eased by his close bond with youngest daughter Amy, or `Little Dorrit'. The dashing Arthur Clennam, returning to London after many years in China, enters their lives and the Dorrits' fortunes begin to rise and fall. A biting satirical work on the shortcomings of nineteenth-century government and society.
