On this day, 171 years ago, on the 2nd of September 1854, a classic was born, as the first chapter of Elizabeth Gaskell's novel, North and South, was published.

A well-used, Puffin Classics edition of Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. The cover art simply shows Oliver’s hands, holding an empty bowl out, as he asks for ‘more’.

I won’t be the first to be uncomfortable with the way Fagin is referred to throughout, but for a 99p charity shop find this was a great winter read!

And would you believe I’d only ever seen the animated Disney adaptation before?!
