Dickens (Charles) The Adventures of Oliver Twist;

or, The Parish Boy’s Progress
London, for the author by Bradbury & Evans, 1846.

First one-vol. edition, ‘A New Edition, Revised and Corrected’. 8vo. Original blind-tooled cloth stamped in gilt to upper cover and spine. Presented in 19th century leather-backed cloth solander, spine gilt.

An attractive example of the first one-volume edition of Dickens’ second novel, following orphan Oliver from the grimness of the workhouse into the criminal underworld of London, confronting poverty, exploitation, and corruption before eventual rescue. Uncommon, especially in such good condition.
