About this audiobook
The subject of countless adaptations, Oliver Twist is an essential read, and this version is both exciting and accessible for children ages 8 – 13 years old. Roy McMillan uses Dickens’ original words in the main text, simplifying and clarifying them at certain points.
Oliver’s journey to London is narrated with ceaseless energy by Jonathan Keeble; his reading is infused with a delicious knack for storytelling.
