    Oliver Twist: Dickens on Dickens , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1034min
    Gerald Dickens, great, great grandson of Charles Dickens, reads this traditional tale. Oliver Twist is the second novel by English author Charles Dickens.

Oliver is led to the lair of their elderly criminal trainer Fagin, naively unaware of their unlawful activities. It is likely that Dickens's own early youth as a child labourer contributed to the story's development. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gerald Dickens.
