Oliver Twist. (Elibron Classics)

The man turns out to be Fagin, a criminal who runs a gang of pickpockets.

When Jack steals a handkerchief from a gentleman named Mr. Brownlow, Oliver is mistaken for the thief, but Mr. Brownlow refuses to press charges. Instead he takes care of Oliver, who bears a striking resemblance to someone he knows. Eventually Oliver is brought back to Fagin and made to help with a burglary, but the burglary goes awry, and Oliver is found by the woman of the house, Rose. Young, kind, and beautiful, Rose takes a shine to Oliver, and they spend a happy summer together in the countryside.

However, Cozy Classics organizes everyday words in a more unique way: By putting words in the context of a story, our books help children find further meaning through a growing sense of narrative. As children get older, parents can expand on the stories in ever more elaborate ways. I've always loved the story of Oliver Twist-now I finally have an illustrated copy I'm even happier. This book is an unabridged copy and is searchable-a great feature.

The cover has a picture of Oliver, all ragged with his little bundle. The table of contents takes you to Charles Dickens' preface, which is well worth reading, and to any chapter in the book. Alas, it does not take you to any of the illustrations, but they are beautifully rendered and very clear. I have the most basic Kindle and I have no trouble seeing all of the detail in the illustrations. The chapter headings list not only the number of the chapter, but the brief description Dickens wrote for each chapter, so that if you want to find a particular spot-say, when Oliver runs away to London, you can see that Chapter VIII has the summary "Oliver walks to London.

He encounters on the road a strange sort of young gentleman. The story is one of a poor orphan boy, sold to an undertaker and abused until he runs away to London. He falls in with thieves and through a strange twist of fate is rescued by the man who was his father's best friend.

It's a long story, filled with reversals of fortune and amazing coincidences, and although it has a happy ending, there is some genuine tragedy.

It's a very sad scene when Oliver returns to the orphanage to get his best friend, Dick, who saw him off on his journey to London, only to find that Dick has died of untreated sickness. The prostitute, Nancy, has all the attributes of a character in a Greek tragedy-you desperately want her to leave the streets and her brutal boyfriend, Bill Sikes, and when she refuses to go, you have a sinking feeling that she isn't going to last much longer. When he beats her to death in their little room, it's a gruesome scene, but not a surprising one. The only relief from Fagin's gang comes from Charley, who reforms and leaves London to become a grazier.

A word about Fagin-some might find the constant description of him as "the Jew" offensive. It is not meant as a pejorative, but rather as a handy label to define the arch-criminal.

While it is true that Fagin is constantly described as a Jew and is one of the most repulsive Jewish characters in literature, it was not Dickens' intent to cast slurs upon Jewish people. He wrote in good faith and was troubled later, after becoming friends with Eliza Davis, the wife of the Jewish banker he sold his London house to, by the way he had portrayed Fagin.

Eliza wrote to him in that she considered the way Dickens had portrayed Fagin a great wrong to the Jewish people. Dickens started to revise Oliver Twist, removing over instances of the word "Jew" from the first edition text. He also ommitted sterotypical caricature from his public readings of Oliver Twist and a contemporary report noted, "There is no nasal intonation; a bent back but no shoulder-shrug: I have always done better on audio book, versus reading the book manually.

I comprehend the book a lot better, what ever the book is' in this case Oliver Twist. I had to read it for an advanced English class and I had the entire book done before the class could even read the first chapter; I really like to work ahead. At the end of the class, I had to give a report on the book, questions to characters and useful material. Audio books are extremely beneficial for people who really need a different understanding of reading material.
