Oliver Twist

Oliver Twist is a family favourite at the same time as being a rather dark examination of the seedier side of life in Victorian London. An orphan, Oliver runs away to the big city, hoping to feel a sense of belonging and love. He falls in with a charismatic group of thieves and ladies of dubious merit, and encounters the characters we all know and love, such as Fagin, the Artful Dodger and the scary and bullying Bill Sykes. With numerous film, musical and theatre adaptions to its credit, this audio version of Dicken's classic tale, read by the great Martin Jarvis, draws a listener far into Oliver's varied and unpredictable world.
