Oliver Twist

"I have thrown my whole heart and soul into Oliver Twist", wrote young Charles Dickens in 1836. After the work was published, Oliver and Mr. Bumble soon became household words. In tracing the boy's story, Dickens made a scathing comment on the inhumanity of the newly enacted Poor Law and startled readers with his convincing picture of the criminal underworld. This edition includes eight plates from Cruikshank's original illustrations.
