Description: When the miserable and hungry orphan Oliver Twist dares to ask the master of the workhouse for some more food, he is forced to flee his wretched life and ends up alone in London. Innocent and vulnerable, young Oliver enters the terrifying street world of the poor and desperate. He soon falls into the clutches of criminal mastermind Fagin and his gang of youthful pickpockets. Immersed in this dark underworld, confronted by the fearsome figure of Bill Sikes, Oliver is friendless and hopeless. Who can help him? How is he to resist the menacing evil that is set to drag him down into a life of crime?

Featuring some of the most outstanding characters in English literature — the brutal Bill Sikes, the dubious Artful Dodger, and Fagin, the arch-villain — Oliver Twist is a classic of English literature and one of Dickens' most popular novels. A new generation of young readers will relish this opportunity to enter the unforgettable and enriching world of Charles Dickens' imagination in this masterfully abridged and superbly illustrated edition.
