Oliver Twist (THE GREAT CLASSICS LIBRARY)

"Please sir, can I have some more?" - Even if you've never read this poignant tirade against workhouses and the lot of the poor, no doubt you feel like you know the story. But despite being seen as a musical and numerous film versions starting in 1909 and going up to Roman Polanski's 2005 version, and of course the inevitable BBC version, the book still holds riches that can only be found on the page.
