One of the first English novels to feature a child as its protagonist, Oliver Twist, published in 1838, moves through the Victorian underworld to tell a suspenseful tale of innocence threatened-yet ultimately triumphant. Mining memories of his own youth to imagine the experiences of the foundling Oliver, Dickens creates a heartbreaking drama full of unforgettable characters, from the rascal antics of street urchin the Artful Dodger and the manipulative seediness of Fagin to the kindness of prostitute Nancy and the innocence of Oliver, who escapes the horrors of the workhouse only to find himself taken in by a den of thieves in London's underworld.
