"A performance so exhilarating that the listener is borne along almost breathless, as if my some force of nature. The variety of emotions she expresses so magnificently is matched by the astonishing range of the voice itself...every scene is superbly performed. More important, all this seems to me to be pure Dickens, just what the author would have delighted in." --Gramophone

Hear Dickens' gift for social commentary in this classic story of the poor orphan, Oliver. In this time-tested classic, Dickens aimed to expose the filth of the London underworld as well as attack the inhumanity of the New Poor Law of 1834. This audiobook is a stunning performance by the award-winning Miriam Margolyes, who is considered one of the most knowledgeable and brilliant actors/interpreters of Dickens.

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is the author of many well-loved classics, including: Nicholas Nickleby, The Old Curiosity Shop, David Copperfield, Bleak House, A Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations, and the unfinished The Mystery of Edwin Drood. His novels have provided the basis for many successful adaptations in the theatre, in the cinema, on radio, and on television.

Miriam Margolyes' one-woman show, Dickens' Women (also available from The Audio Partners), reflects her life-long passion for Dickens' novels. Winner of the 1992 Sony Award for Best Actress, her astonishing vocal range is used to perfection in her readings for the Cover to Cover Classics imprint of The Audio Partners.
