Abandoned at an early age, Oliver
Twist is forced to live in a workhouse lorded over by the awful Mr Bumble, who
cheats the boys of their meager rations. Desperate yet determined, Oliver makes
his escape to the streets of London.
Penniless and alone, he is lured
into a world f croime by the sinister Fagin-the mastermind of a gang of
pint-sized pickpockets. Oliver's rescue by the kindly Mr Brownlow is only the
beginning of a series of adventures that lead him to the promise of a better
life.
