The twists (excuse the pun) and turns of Oliver's life make this a totally engrossing read. The book includes some of the most memorable characters from literature, grotesque and fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable.
January 2010 Guest Editor Diana Gabaldon on CHARLES DICKENS
Nobody does characters like Dickens did, and that's why his books endure. He told excellent stories and painted a vivid portrait of Victorian society, but that society consists of people who live, breathe, and speak on the page. I learned from him the art of evoking a character: naming and describing people in such vivid detail as to make them live.

A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Dickens's unforgettable novel with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, beautiful paper and finished with a silk ribbon.
Oliver is an orphan living on the dangerous London streets with no one but himself to rely on. Fleeing from poverty and hardship, he falls in with a criminal street gang who will not let him go, however hard he tries to escape. Dickens graphically conjures up the capital's underworld, full of sex workers, thieves and lost and homeless children, and gives a voice to the disadvantaged and abused.
