Description:

Oliver Twist is a young orphan born in a workhouse in Victorian England, where he is treated with cruelty and given barely enough food to survive. After daring to ask for more, Oliver runs away to London, where he falls in with a gang of child pickpockets led by the sly old criminal Fagin and his sharp-witted young friend, the Artful Dodger. Amid danger, poverty and unkind adults, Oliver clings to his honesty and good heart, slowly finding kindness and the chance of a better life. A powerful, moving classic about survival, hope and staying true to yourself.
