<p><strong><em>Yoto Says: A specially adapted version of the Dickens staple complete with helpful asides to demystify unfamiliar concepts for young listeners.</em></strong></p> <p>Oliver Twist runs away from the brutality of the workhouse only to find himself taken in by a gang of thieves run by the devilish Fagin, his violent side-kick Bill Sikes and the irrepressible Artful Dodger. Rescued from London’s dingiest and darkest dens but then forced to help in a violent burglary, Oliver’s chances of survival are slim, and his chances of happiness almost nil. But one member of the gang risks everything to save him – and loses everything as a result. Roy McMillan combines an abridged version of Dickens’s novel with his own helpful explanations to retell the story for younger listeners.</p><p>This is an abridged version of the story.</p>
