AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Tells the story of Jack Dawkins, introduced in Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist as the Artful Dodger, the fastest-talking, nimblest-fingered young pick-pocket in London. As he side-steps and ducks his way from one disaster to another, the Dodger comes to realise that his voyage to Australia may be a real escape from his old life, an opportunity to be not a crook, but a hero.'
