Oliver Twist

Charles Dickens

De Marque · Narrated by Mil Nicholson

About this audiobook

The story of the orphan Oliver, who runs away from the workhouse only to be taken in by a den of thieves, shocked readers when it was first published. Dickens's tale of childhood innocence beset by evil depicts the dark criminal underworld of a London peopled by vivid and memorable characters - the arch-villain Fagin, the artful Dodger, the menacing Bill Sikes and the prostitute Nancy. Combining elements of Gothic Romance, the Newgate Novel and popular melodrama, Dickens created an entirely newkind of fiction, scathing in its indictment of a cruel society, and pervaded by an unforgettable sense of threat and mystery. ©2020 Pandora's Box (P)2020 Pandora's Box

Ratings and reviews

Another Dickens hit, with far less banter than most of the other books he was paid by installment for. Tale of Two Cities is still my all-time favorite, but this was a really good read!

The audio is clear and the reader does a great job.
