Oliver Twist

Oliver Twist is poor. Always has been, always will be. Being born in a workhouse means that you’ll probably always be treated like rubbish. Oliver does not want a life of hard work and measly meals, but he soon learns that it’s never safe to ask for more …

What Oliver really needs is a family. But is a family of thieves, kidnappers and killers really a family at all?
