    Oliver Twist

    "The image of little Oliver Twist victimised by poverty, almost seduced by the specious excitement of crime, and then offered the possibility of a lucrative career in authorship is always compelling." —Guardian "We leave him most reluctantly, and so will every reader who has any capacity to see and feel whatsoever is most loveable, hateful, or laughable, in the character of the everyday life about him." —Examiner "He deals truly with human nature, which never can degrade; he takes up everything, good, bad, or indifferent, which he works up into a rich alluvial deposit. He is natural, and that never can be ridiculous." —Quarterly Review

    It has it all: a spooky ghost story, a heartwarming redemption and a great plot with a satisfyingly ending—The TimesA story which, perhaps more than any other, sums up the spirit of the British Christmas—Sunday TelegraphA little masterpiece...irresistible—Sunday ExpressMarley's ghostly face on the knocker of Scrooge's door still gives me the shivers—Michael Morpurgo, IndependentSo what makes these different to any other set of classics? In a moment of inspiration Random House had the bright idea of actually asking Key stage 2 children what extra ingredients they could add to make children want to read. And does it work? Well, put it this way...my 13-year-old daughter announced that she had to read a book over the summer holiday and, without any prompting, spotted The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas...and proceeded to read it! Now, if you knew my 13-year-old daughter, you would realise that this is quite remarkable. She reads texts, blogs and tags by the thousand - but this is the first book she has read since going to high school, so all hail Vintage Classics!—National Association for the Teaching of English
