Tiny Fisscher Oliver Twist
naar Oliver Twist; or, the parish boy's progress van Charles Dickens
Stel je voor dat je in een armenhuis geboren wordt, dat je moeder vlak na je geboorte sterft, en je helemaal niets en niemand meer hebt. Precies dit overkomt Oliver Twist, een van de bekendste boekpersonages van Charles Dickens.

Het boek verscheen in 1838 en hoewel het...
