This is one of a series of classic stories retold in very easy English. The whole series comprises one level only, and uses a 500-word vocabulary as formulated for stage 1 of the "Longman Classics" series and stage 1 structures as specified in the "Longman Structural Readers Handbook". There are four pages of exercise material at the end of the text.
The "Longman Picture Classics" are designed to be easier and of a lower level than stage 1 "Longman Classics". They are shorter, with less text in larger typeface and with illustrations on every double-page spread. "Oliver Twist" is the story of a pauper boy, born in a workhouse and brought up under very cruel conditions. As a child he runs away to London where he falls into the hands of a gang of thieves. The story tells how the gang try to turn Oliver into a thief and of their eventual capture, and Oliver's adoption by the kindly Mr Brownlow.
