Dodger by Terry Pratchett

5.0

Fabulous book. This is a fantasy version of Dickens' Dodger from Oliver Twist. Since it includes Charlie Dickens as a character, it's Pratchett's imagining of how Dickens got his character. In addition to an appearance by Dickens, we also meet Benjamin Disraeli, Queen Victoria, Sir Robert Peele, and other luminaries of the early Victorian period. Pratchett does an excellent job of bringing London to life. Especially wonderful on audio.
