However, in the midst of these changes, Jack Dawkins, also known as the Artful Dodger, arrives in London, freshly returned from being deported.

From a parish workhouse to the heart of the industrial revolution, from debtors' jail to Cambridge University and a prestigious London church, Robert Blincoe's political, personal and turbulent story illuminates the Dickensian age like never before. In 1792 as revolution, riot and sedition spread across Europe, Robert Blincoe was born in the calm of rural St Pancras parish. At four he was abandoned to a workhouse, never to see his family again. At seven, he was sent 200 miles north to work in one of the cotton mills of the dawning industrial age. He suffered years of unrelenting abuse, a life dictated by the inhuman rhythm of machines. Like Dickens' most famous character, Blincoe rebelled after years of servitude. He fought back against the mill owners, earning beatings but gaining self-respect. He joined the campaign to protect children, gave evidence to a Royal Commission into factory conditions and worked with extraordinary tenacity to keep his own children from the factories. His life was immortalised in one of the most remarkable biographies ever written, A Memoir of Robert Blincoe. Renowned popular historian John Waller tells the true story of a parish boy's progress with passion and in enthralling detail.

Oliver Twist: The Parish Boy's Progress The novel follows the journey of the titular character, Oliver Twist. Oliver, an orphan since birth, spends much of his childhood at a "child farm" (orphanage) with too many children and too little food. The farm is located roughly 70 miles outside London. One night, after being served his portion of gruel, Oliver asks for a second helping. This is unacceptable, and Oliver is sent to work as an apprentice to an undertaker. Eventually, after suffering repeated mistreatment, Oliver runs away and heads for London. He soon finds himself in the presence of the Artful Dodger, who tells him to stay at the house of an "old gentleman" (named Fagin) with a number of other boys. Oliver learns that these boys are trained pickpockets. On an outing, Oliver witnesses the boys take a handkerchief from Mr. Brownlow, an elderly man, which prompts Oliver to run away in fear and confusion. The elderly man mistakes Oliver's behaviour for guilt and has him arrested. However, after learning more about Oliver, Mr. Brownlow realizes his mistake and offers to take care of him at his home. Oliver assumes that he is now rid of Fagin and the pickpockets, but his knowledge of their crimes causes them to seek Oliver out. Nancy, a prostitute and mistress of one of Fagin's men, Bill Sikes, is sent to take Oliver from Mr. Brownlow back to Fagin. She does so successfully, and Oliver is sent on a burglary mission with another member of the group to the countryside around London. On this errand, Oliver is shot in the arm and then is taken in by the family (the Maylies) that he attempted to rob. While he is there, Fagin and a man named Monks plot to get him back. Rose Maylie, while on a trip to London with her family, meets with Mr. Brownlow to talk with Nancy, who has slipped away from Sikes to explain the plans made by Monks and Fagin to get Oliver back. She describes Monks and tells them when he might most easily be apprehended. Unfortunately for Nancy, news of her betrayal reaches Sikes, and he beats her to death. Sikes accidentally hangs himself soon after. The Maylies reunite Oliver with Mr. Brownlow, who forces Monks to explain himself. The reader and Oliver are then informed that Monks is Oliver's half-brother and that Oliver is entitled to a large fortune. He receives his share of the money, Fagin is hung, and the Maylies, Oliver, and Mr. Brownlow move to the countryside where they spend the rest of their days together.

Oliver Twist was born in a workhouse. His mother managed to cast a glance at him and died; Before the boy was nine years old, he could not find out who his parents were.Not a single affectionate word, not a single affectionate glance had ever illuminated his dull infant years, he knew only hunger, beatings, bullying and deprivation. From the workhouse, Oliver is apprenticed to the undertaker; there he encounters an orphanage boy, Noé Kleipol, who, being older and stronger, constantly subjected Oliver to humiliation. He meekly demolishes everything until one day Noe spoke badly of his mother - this Oliver could not endure and beat off a stronger and stronger, but cowardly offender. He is severely punished, and he flees from the undertaker. Seeing the London signpost, Oliver heads there. He sleeps in haystacks, suffers from hunger, cold and fatigue. On the seventh day after an escape in the town of Barnet, Oliver met a tattered man of his age, who introduced himself as Jack Dawkins, nicknamed the Artful Dodger, fed him and promised in London overnight and patronage. The artful Dodger brought Oliver to the buyer of stolen goods, the godfather of the London thieves and fraudsters to the Jew Fagin - it was his patronage that was meant. Fagin promises to teach Oliver the craft and give work, and while the boy spends many days mating the tags from the handkerchiefs that young thieves bring to Fagin. When he first goes to work and sees firsthand how his tricks Dodgy Dodger and Charlie Bates pull a handkerchief out of a certain gentleman's pocket, he runs in horror, they grab him like a thief and drag him to the judge. Fortunately, the gentleman refuses the lawsuit and, full of sympathy for the baited child, takes him to him. Oliver has been sick for a long time, Mr. Brownlow and his housekeeper, Mrs. Badwin, nursing him, marveling at his resemblance to the portrait of a young beautiful woman hanging in the living room. Mr. Brownlow wants to take Oliver to be raised. However, Fagin, fearing that Oliver will bring the representatives of the law to his trail, hunts down and kidnaps him. He strives at all costs to make Oliver a thief and achieve complete submission to the boy. For the robbery of the house Fagin had observed, where he was very attracted by silverware, the performer of this action, Bill Sykes, who had recently returned from prison, needed a lean boy who, if thrust through the window, would open the door for the robbers. The choice falls on Oliver. Oliver is determined to raise the alarm in the house as soon as he is there, so as not to participate in the crime. But he did not have time: the house was guarded, and the boy, half-shoved through the window, was immediately wounded in the arm. Sykes pulls him bleeding and takes him away, but, having heard the chase, throws him into the ditch, not knowing for sure whether he is alive or dead. Waking up, Oliver reaches the porch of the house; Mrs. Mayley, her inmates, and her niece, Rose, put him to bed and call a doctor, abandoning the idea of giving the poor child to the police.
