The Adventures Of Oliver Twist

by Dickens, Charles

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 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. 

Other Collectible or Notable Editions

In 1846, Dickens issued a substantially revised version of The Adventures of Oliver Twist as a single volume through London publisher Bradbury and Evans. This edition also includes Cruikshank’s 24 plates.
