'This ain't the shop for justice' The Artful Dodger, Oliver Twist
'The image of little Oliver Twist victimised by poverty, almost seduced by the specious excitement of crime, and then offered the possibility of a lucrative career in authorship is always compelling' Guardian

Fleeing from poverty and hardship, he falls in with a criminal street gang who will not let him go, however hard he tries to escape.
