Oliver is meagerly provided for under the terms of the Poor Law and spends the first nine years of his life living at a baby farm in the 'care' of a woman named Mrs Mann who embezzles much of the money entrusted to the baby farm by the parish. Oliver is brought up with little food and few comforts. Around the time of Oliver's ninth birthday Mr Bumble the parish beadle removes Oliver from the baby farm and puts him to work picking and weaving oakum at the main workhouse. Oliver who toils with very little food remains in the workhouse for six months. One day the desperately hungry boys decide to draw lots; the loser must ask for another portion of gruel. This task falls to Oliver himself who at the next meal comes forward trembling bowl in hand and begs the master for gruel with his famous request: "Please sir I want some more".13"--Wikipedia Nelson Doubleday hardcover books

1838126341838. our finest copy evah or The Parish Boy's Progress. By "Boz." In Three Volumes. London: Richard Bentley 1838. 4 pp Vol I undated ads; 2 preliminary pp Vol III undated ads. Original purplish-brown fine-diaper cloth. First Edition first issue of this classic novel that has also been a hit as a Broadway musical. This is the "true first edition" not merely the "first edition in book form." Unlike most of Dickens's novels OLIVER TWIST was not first issued in monthly serial parts; it did appear in "Bentley's Miscellany" magazine from February 1837 through April 1839 but this three-volume edition was published in November 1838. OLIVER TWIST was finally issued in ten serial parts in 1846 -- one of the scarcest "Dickens in parts." Within a week after initial publication copies began to be issued at Dickens's insistence with his name on the title pages rather than "Boz" and with the "church" plate replacing the "fireside" plate. This copy is of the first issue -- with "Boz" on the title pages and with the "fireside" plate at the end of Vol III. This set is in the primary fine-diaper cloth some copies are in horizontally-ribbed cloth of the same color but with a different arabesque design -- precedence unknown. This copy does have the "London/Bentley" imprint at the foot of the spines where some copies are blank; it has been surmised that the blank binding is earlier if only because Bentley would have been more likely to add than to remove his name from the volumes -- though precedence is far from certain. Lastly the list of illustrations in Vol I is present in this copy: again it is uncertain whether its absence or its presence was the earlier state though it is possible that Bentley may have begun inserting it when he realized that George Cruikshank's name had otherwise been omitted from the publication. Bear in mind that the second issue with Dickens's name on the title pages was out within a week of the first; therefore all of these questions of precedence among issue points involve only a few days. This set is in FINE condition: there is essentially no external wear to the cloth the spine gilt remains bright the original yellow endpapers exhibit only the merest hint of cracking there is scarcely any foxing at all on the textual leaves or plates. in fact the ONLY notable flaw is that on two covers there is a faint partial glass-ring. Period. This is the best copy we have offered in our 35 years in business. Smith I pp 28-37; Gimbel A27; Eckel pp 59-61; Carter BV p. 107 and MBV p. 7.
