Eleven-year-old actor Eden Giuliano presents a brand new line of exciting children’s stories from Icon!
Please sir, I want some more," the famous line spoken by Oliver Twist at age nine becomes the tipping point of a huge change in Oliver's life. He is soon captured into the service of the evil Fagin and his gang of pick-pocketing boys. Mr. Brownlow, however, saves him from arrest, and for the first time in his young life, Oliver finds comfort and caring. Unfortunately, he is soon recaptured into the seedy world from which he had escaped and meets with Bill Sykes, a highly dangerous criminal. There are numerous delightful and suitably wicked characters which carry the story along such as: the clever, Artful Dodger, a mean boy of the streets under Fagin; Mr. Bumble the Beadle, ever looking for ways to get rid of the naughty Oliver; Nancy who makes a fateful betrayal; and the Maylies, whose deep affection Oliver craves. The author's descriptions of the back street life in London of that time illumine the abject poverty and the way in which the hopeless poor were treated during that time. Charles Dickens wrote Oliver Twist as a popular newspaper serial in 1837.

Charles John Huffam Dickens föddes i Portsmouth i England 1812. När Charles var tio år gammal flyttade familjen till London. Hans far fick ekonomiska problem och familjen blev utfattig. Charles, som då var i tolvårsåldern, fick hjälpa till att tjäna pengar. Som barnarbetare i en skosmörjefabrik fick han arbeta tolv timmar om dygnet, men lönen var så liten att han knappt hade råd att äta sig mätt.Hans skolgång blev det inte mycket med, men som tonåring lärde han sig att stenografera och blev senare journalist. Han reste runt i Storbritannien för att bevaka valkampanjer och rapportera från parlamentsdebatter. Dickens anses som en av de största engelskspråkiga författarna och var den mest framträdande romanförfattaren under den viktorianska eran. Ett mått på hans popularitet är att ingen av hans romaner eller noveller har slutat tryckas på engelska. Dickens skrev huvudsakligen följetongsromaner, vilket var en vanlig form för skönlitteratur på den tiden.Några av Charles Dickens övriga böcker, som alla publicerades som följetongsromaner innan de kom ut i bokform, är bl.a. Pickwickklubben, Nicholas Nickleby, och David Copperfield. Dickens dog 9 juni 1870 i sitt hem efter ett slaganfall. Han var då 58 år gammal.
