Oliver Twist

One of Dickens’ most popular and moving novels, OLIVER TWIST deals with a world Dickens himself knew only too well — a world of debtors, prisons, alms houses and poverty. Oliver is born in a workhouse. Apprenticed to an undertaker, he runs away to London where the “Artful Dodger,” Jack Dawkins, takes the starving boy into a den of thieves. Among this motley crew, Oliver meets the sinister Bill Sikes, his pitiful and tragic Nancy and the master criminal, Fagin.
