About this book

The Adventures of Oliver Twist is the second novel by English author Charles Dickens. The book was initially published serially from February 1837 through April 1839 in Bentley’s Miscellany, a periodical edited by Dickens. In the classic rags-to-riches story, the orphan and escapee Oliver Twist must find his way through the criminal-filled streets of London. 

First line

AMONG other public buildings in a certain town, which for many reasons it will be prudent to refrain from mentioning, and to which I will assign no fictitious name, there is one anciently common to most towns, great or small: to wit, a work-house; and in this work-house was born-on a day and date which I need not trouble myself to repeat, inasmuch as it can be of no possible consequence to the reader, in this stage of the business at all events-the item of mortality whose name is prefixed to the head of this chapter.

First Edition Identification

The novel was first published under the title Oliver Twist, or, The Parish Boy's Progress as a three-volume book by Richard Bentley, owner of Bentley's Miscellany in 1838 (six months before the initial serialization was complete). The first edition of the novel includes 24 steel-engraved plates by George Cruikshank.
