DODGE & TWIST

Always energetic and engaged, narrators Will Howard and James Joyce break out their best Cockney accents to portray two of Charles Dickens's most beloved creations, the Artful Dodger and Oliver Twist. This well-produced Audible original with an ensemble cast weaves nineteenth-century literary sensibilities with the breakneck pace of the author's bestselling graphic novels. The story picks up 12 years after the kindly Mr. Brownlow rescued Oliver Twist from the sly Fagin with Oliver once again crossing paths with a mysterious and much more worldly Dodger. Staying one step ahead of the police, crooked barristers, and their checkered pasts, the two former street urchins plot to steal a priceless diamond. Tony-nominated Stephen Mangan gives a nice turn as Charles Dickens narrating the beginning of each scene. B.P. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2019]
