Opis

Oliver Twist has been a family favourite ever since Charles Dickens gave birth to his marvellous story in 1837. It has been reproduced in many ways but now Richard Cuddington applies his easy reading verse style to recount this famous tale.

Here are all the familiar cast of characters - brought to life in fun, uplifting narrative verse that moves along at a vibrant pace. From the moment of Oliver's birth in the Workhouse, through all his adventures at the hands of Fagin and Bill Sikes until he finally finds a new life - there is never a dull moment.

The author has previously applied his straightforward, rhythmic style to The Complete Works of Shakespeare and Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and now turns to Dickens' famous story to retell it in a way that will have great appeal to children and adults alike.
