Dombey And Son by Charles Dickens. BBC RADIO DRAMA
Paul Dombey is the owner of Dombey and Son, a successful shipping company. The wealthy business owner dreams of having a son to take over the family business one day. He neglects his first child, a girl, because she is not the boy for whom he had hoped.
Dombey’s wife dies shortly after giving birth to his namesake son. This leaves both his newborn son and his six-year-old daughter, Florence, motherless. Dombey hires Mrs. Richards, whose nickname is Toodle, to serve as a wet nurse to Little Paul.
Little Paul Dombey grows into a frail child who is often sick. For his health, his father sends him to the seaside city of Brighton, which does him good. Little Dombey receives an intense education in Brighton at Dr. and Mrs. Blimber’s school. At school, he becomes friends with schoolmate Mr. Toots. Alas, Little Dombey’s health gets worse, and he dies at the mere age of six years old.
