After escaping from the dark and dismal workhouse where he was born, Oliver finds himself on the mean streets of Victorian-era London and is unwittingly recruited into a scabrous gang of scheming urchins. In this band of petty thieves, Oliver encounters the extraordinary and vibrant characters who have captured audiences' imaginations for more than 150 years.

Simon Vance is a brilliant narrator!
Revisado: 05-15-24
Dickens work is superb. That said, to bring it to life in a recording takes an actor with consummate skill. That actor is Simon Vance. I choose my recorded books simply by saying which ones are narrated by Simon Vance. I recommend very highly, extremely highly, another book recorded by him: The Riddle of the Sands by Erskine Childers. I have listened to it nearly a dozen times.

A Masterpiece!
Revisado: 03-31-22
Anthropocentrism is the final act of hubris by the human race. Carl Safina understands this and does his best, which is very very good indeed, to help you understand it too. A brilliant book by a brilliant author! Please read it!

Remarkably little is known about the European eel, Anguilla anguilla. So little, in fact, that scientists and philosophers have, for centuries, been obsessed with what has become known as the “eel question”: Where do eels come from? What are they? Are they fish or some other kind of creature altogether? Even in our age of advanced science, no one has ever seen eels mating or giving birth, and we still don’t understand what drives them, after living for decades in freshwater, to swim great distances back to the ocean at the end of their lives. They remain a mystery.

As good a book as you ever find
Revisado: 10-16-21
Brilliant. Moving. Superbly written. Held my interest from start to finish. As topical as any book you will ever read, but not suffering an instant from topicality. Don't miss this book!

The plot involves the uncovering of secret German preparations for an invasion of the United Kingdom and is sited by Winston Churchill as one of the major reasons the Admiralty decided to establish naval bases at Invergordon, the Firth of Forth and Scapa Flow.

An Incredible Reading of A Marvelous Spy Story
Revisado: 11-18-13
Where does The Riddle of the Sands rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Tops. Hagan's reading, which I believe was originally made for the Royal National Institute of Blind People, is masterful. All of Childers' sometimes intricate prose is brought amazingly to life. And the story is just great, particularly if you have ever sailed a small boat. Pure pleasure.
