Oliver Twist: With 36 Illustrations and a Free Audio Link

“Please sir, can I have some more?”

In this gripping tale of kidnapping, shooting’s and murder, Charles Dickens shows the threats to a vulnerable boy’s existence and asks the eternal question: which is more powerful, good or evil?

The story follows the orphan Oliver Twist. He starts his life in a workhouse and is then sold into an apprenticeship with an undertaker. He escapes from there and travels to London where he walks the dark and dangerous streets of the Victorian capital. He meets the Artful Dodger, a member of a gang of juvenile pickpockets, which is led by the elderly criminal Fagin. Oliver enters a world of people so poor and desperate that they will take any risk and know no mercy. He goes on a terrifying journey where he is pursued by the menacing criminal underworld. Who can Oliver trust? Are his friends strong enough to resist the determined plotting of desperate villains?

This book is unabridged and the story appears as it was first published in 1837.
