Iris Murdoch`s richly peopled novel revolves round a happily married couple, Kate and Octavian, and the friends of all ages attached to their household in Dorset. The novel deals with love in its two aspects, the self-gratifying and the impersonal - the nice and the good - as they are embodied in a fascinating array of paired characters. The Nice And The Good leads through stress and terror to a joyous and compassionate `Midsummer Nights Dream` conclusion, in which the couples all sort themselves out neatly and omnia vincit amor.

Following the success of `Pickwick Papers` and `Oliver Twist`, `Nicholas Nickleby` was hailed as a comic triumph and firmly established Dickens as a `literary gentleman`. It has a full supporting cast of delectable characters that range from the iniquitous Wackford Squeers and his family, to the delightful Mrs Nickleby, taking in the eccentric Crummles and his traveling players, the Mantalinis, the Kenwigs and many more. Combining these with typically Dickensian elements of burlesque and farce, the novelis eminently suited to dramatic adaptation. So great was its impact as it left Dickens` pen that many pirated versions appeared in print and on stage before the original was even finished. Often neglected by critics, `Nicholas Nickleby`...
