A Genius Performance by Martin Jarvis!
This novel contains many classic Dickensian themes - grinding poverty, desperation, fear, temptation and the eventual triumph of good in the face of great adversity. Oliver Twist features some of Dickens' most enduring characters, such as Oliver himself (who dares to ask for more), the wonderfully diabolical Fagin, the menacing Bill Sikes, Nancy and 'the Artful Dodger'.
For any listener wishing to delve into the works of the great Victorian literary colossus, Oliver Twist is, without doubt, an essential title.
