Product Description
Real Reads -- the classics retold and beautifully illustrated.
Real Reads are a new and exciting way of presenting our literary heritage to a new audience:
With a hungry, timid request of 'Please, sir. I want some more', orphan Oliver Twist takes his first step on a terrifying journey. In the dark, dangerous streets of Victorian London Oliver enters the world of people so poor and desperate that they will take any risk and know no mercy. Relentlessly pursued by the menacing criminal world, who should Oliver trust? Are his true friends strong enough to resist the determined plotting of desperate villains? In this gripping tale of kidnapping, shooting and murder, Charles Dickens shows the threats to a vulnerable boy's existence and asks the eternal question: which is more powerful, good or evil?
