A brand new edition of a Terry Pratchett classic - set in Victorian London, and starring cunning but kind Dodger, as he sets off on a whirlwind adventure through the city streets
Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling
Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was
published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty
bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies
worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and
screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the
Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to
literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his
greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.

Here, once again, is the mark of a great writer . . . we are
captivated by ingenious word-building on every page . . . As
Dodger's triumphant path ultimately brings him honour from the very
highest rank of society, we cannot help but cheer not only for his
success, but also for the success of this ebullient, funny and
delightful novel.
*Guardian*
Wonderful.
*Daily Mail*
Dodger feels fresh, vibrant and full of energy, a triumph that
should be celebrated as yet another glorious gift from
Narrativia.
*SFX*
[A] superb novel . . . full of eccentric characters and carefully
detailed London scenes, the tale embodies both Dickens's love for
the common man and a fierce desire for social justice.
*Publishers Weekly*
It's a masterwork from a treasure and hero of a writer, and it will
delight you.
*Cory Doctorow*
