A Guinea Pig Oliver Twist

From the roly-poly guinea pigs who brought you A Guinea Pig Nativity and A Guinea Pig Pride & Prejudice comes this adorable adaptation of Dickens' beloved novel Oliver Twist! We’ve admired guinea pigs in delicate lace bonnets and dapper top hats in A Guinea Pig Pride & Prejudice, swooning over the love between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. We’ve oohed and ahhed over guinea pigs in the sweet, hay-filled manger in A Guinea Pig Nativity. Now, in A Guinea Pig Oliver Twist, we’ll delight in the adorable little pigs with expressive eyes dressed in the tattered rags of street urchins and orphans that roamed the streets in gritty 19th-century London. At only nine years old, Oliver Twist is transferred from an orphanage to a workhouse for adults. He is sold to an undertaker as an apprentice, and finally escapes to London, where he joins a gang of pickpocketing street urchins led by Fagin, an older criminal. Young Oliver isn't made for a life of crime, but the band of thieves won't let him live a straight and narrow life; when he attempts to leave, they kidnap him and drag him back into a life on the street. Forced to assist in a burglary, Oliver is shot and taken in by the victims of the crime, who recognize his true nature. This compact little book is illustrated by dozens of photographs of our favorite guinea pig actors and actresses.
