Information

Orphaned at birth and abandoned to the hardships of the workhouse, Oliver Twist lives a grueling life of poverty. Desperate to escape his heartless tormentors, he runs away to start a better life in London but, once there, he is befriended by a young pickpocket known as the Artful Dodger, who introduces him to Fagin and his gang of thieves. A chance encounter gives Oliver the opportunity to escape the criminal underworld but Fagin won't let him get away so easily. And just when everything seems hopeless, events take a most unexpected turn...

I love all of Dickens Jo Brand I would always prefer to go get another Dickens off the shelf than pick up a new book by someone I've not read yet Donna Tartt He's a marvellous writer ... He's very, very good William Trevor Charles Dickens is one of the giants of English literature Sunday Express Nothing seems more quintessentially British than Charles Dickens The Times My all-time favourite author is Charles Dickens Lesley Pearse There's only one Charles Dickens Nick Hornby
