Oliver Twist, The Errand with the Books
A quiet house in Pentonville, a portrait on the wall, five pounds and a parcel of books, and a hand on a shoulder in a busy street.
Retold for sleep from Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, first published in 1838 and long out of copyright. The story is Dickens's; every sentence here is our own.
