Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series,
designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these
delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality
colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. 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 new kind of fiction,
scathing in its indictment of a cruel society, and pervaded by an
unforgettable sense of threat and mystery.
