The book not only describes the adventures of Oliver Twist and Baby Tim, David Copperfield and Baby Nell... This book has its own story. A hundred years ago, English girls and boys leafed through her pages, they looked at the drawings with enthusiasm, laughed and cried along with her characters. "Oliver Twist," "David Copperfield," "Cricket Behind the Hearth" and other stories - not in the original, in the retelling of Vera Dorofeeva, with beautiful illustrations by Harold Copping.
