I loved every minute of it. Haven seen Oliver Twist as a play at the theater as a young girl in Denmark I was looking forward to learning the original plot. The narrator did a splendid job. A book that showcases the British history and the views on children women rich and poor. I can only recommend it highly.

One of Dickens' greatest novels, the story is fuller and deeper than the famous film adaptation. One has to wink at the coincidences so essential to the plot and the modern reader will wince at the charicature of a Jew but it is Dickens' genius that even Fagin, so portrayed is sympathetic. Wonderful performance by Martin Jarvis.

Simply a classic

What a wonderful combination: Charles Dickens and Martin Jarvis as narrator. Dickens characters have so much depth and insight and Martin Jarvis' narration is superb. Couldn't ask for more. Totally recommend.

I like to listen to Dickens stories when driving, especially when driving long distances. Dicken's use of language is always a delight and the names of his characters bring a smile to my face. I also tend to choose those books that have Martin Jarvis as the narrator because he brings the characters to life just by the different voices and accents. Oliver Twist is a much longer book than I thought from watching the television adaptations and the films. More happens after the failed burglary than I realised.

So much more than the films

Oliver - the boy who dared asked for more! Sykes, Fagin, Artful Dodger…. Mr Bumble, truly great characters.

Simply superb
