A terrifically funny tale of dark deeds in Dickensian London, from master storyteller Terry Pratchett. Dodger is a tosher -- a sewer scavenger living in the squalor of Dickensian London.
Everyone who is nobody knows Dodger. Anyone who is anybody doesn't.
But when he rescues a young girl from a beating, suddenly everybody wants to know him.
And Dodger's tale of skulduggery, dark plans and even darker deeds begins.
