Oliver Twist, The Expedition
A plan made over a low fire, a long walk out of London in the rain, and a small window at the back of a house in the country.
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.
Tender and reassuring, steady when things aren't, present and calm without ever overpromising.
