About the book

Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist follows an orphan born into the harsh conditions of an English workhouse. After enduring hunger, cruelty and exploitation, Oliver escapes to London, where he falls into the hands of a gang of young thieves controlled by the criminal Fagin. Through characters including the Artful Dodger, Bill Sikes and Nancy, Dickens exposes poverty, crime and the brutal treatment of society's most vulnerable people. Combining adventure, melodrama and social criticism, the novel is both a gripping story and a powerful attack on the institutions that failed the poor.
