"Oliver Twist"

Oliver's mother dies when he is born and he is brought up in a workhouse.

His first years are cold and lonely -- and then he runs away to London.

But he falls into the hands of Fagin and the terrifying Bill Sykes.

They try to turn Oliver into a criminal. Can he escape to find a better life? One of Charles Dickens' best-known stories brings the streets of nineteenth-century London to life.
