Oliver Twist - adapted for children

One of the world's greatest writers is introduced to a new audience through this accessible retelling with lively illustrations.

Now, she brings Dickens' beloved characters to a fresh audience with a new series of short novels. Meet Oliver, Fagin, Nancy and the Artful Dodger in this splendidly accessible adaptation of Oliver Twist, illustrated throughout in Marcia's lively style. Instantly accessible to a young audience, this informative and fun introduction to Dickens retains the unique flavour of Dickensian language. It is suitable for the KS2 Traditional Stories strand of the National Literacy Strategy.
