346 p. ; 21 cm (paperback) Oliver Twist's famous cry of the heart--"Please, sir, I want some more"--has resounded with generations of readers of all ages. The author poured his own youthful experience of Victorian London's unspeakable squalor into this realistic depiction of a spirited young innocent's unwilling but inevitable recruitment into a scabrous gang of thieves. Masterminded by the loathsome Fagin, the underworld crew features some of Dickens' most memorable characters, including the vicious Bill Sikes, gentle Nancy, and the juvenile pickpocket known as the Artful Dodger. e-uk-en Orphans Poverty Social Inequality Social Issues Criminals Kidnapping victims London (England) PR4567 .A1 2002b 823/.8 0486424537 (pbk.) 2002073314 http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/dover032/2002073314.html http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/dover032/2002073314.html DLC 020523 20230825195140.0 12785917
