Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
After running away from the workhouse and pompous beadle Mr Bumble, Oliver Twist finds himself lured into a den of thieves peopled by vivid and memorable characters - the Artful Dodger, vicious burglar Bill Sikes, his dog Bull's Eye, and prostitute Nancy, all watched over by cunning master-thief Fagin.
"The power of [Dickens] is so amazing, that the reader at once becomes his captive, and must follow him whithersoever he leads"
