Yoto Says: A specially adapted version of the Dickens staple complete with helpful asides to demystify unfamiliar concepts for young listeners.

Oliver Twist runs away from the brutality of the workhouse only to find himself taken in by a gang of thieves run by the devilish Fagin, his violent side-kick Bill Sikes and the irrepressible Artful Dodger. Rescued from London’s dingiest and darkest dens but then forced to help in a violent burglary, Oliver’s chances of survival are slim, and his chances of happiness almost nil. But one member of the gang risks everything to save him – and loses everything as a result. Roy McMillan combines an abridged version of Dickens’s novel with his own helpful explanations to retell the story for younger listeners.

This is an abridged version of the story.

Christopher ★★★★★

I was worried the old-timey language might be too much for my 7-year-old, but the narrator's helpful asides explaining unfamiliar terms kept her completely engaged. She's already asked to listen to it again.

Benjamin M. ★★★★★

The narrator's little explanations for old-timey words made it easy for my six-year-old to follow along without me having to pause every minute. We finished it in two car rides and she's already asking for another.

Owen ★★★★★

My eight-year-old was captivated by the story from the first track, and I love how the narrator explains things like workhouses in a way that actually makes sense. The helpful asides kept her engaged without breaking the flow of the tale.
