Binding: mass market paperback

Section: Fiction

One of the great novelist's most popular works, Oliver Twist is also the purest distillation of Dickens's genius. This tale of the orphan who is reared in a workhouse and runs away to London is a novel of social protest, a morality tale, and a detective story. Oliver Twist presents some of the most sinister characters in Dickens — the master thief Fagin; the leering Artful dodger; the murderer Bill Sikes — along with some of the most sentimental and comical characters. Only Dickens can give us nightmare and daydream combined.
