Publisher Description
A brand new edition of a Terry Pratchett classic – set in Victorian London, and starring cunning but kind Dodger, as he sets off on a whirlwind adventure through the city streets
THE SEWER IS DODGER’S WORLD . . .
He hunts treasure there – coins and jewels lost in the dark and dirty drains. It’s a good life, if you don’t mind getting your hands (and arms and feet and face) dirty.
But one night, Dodger helps a young woman flee two ruffians. Now, a street urchin dressed as a gentleman, he must discover the secret behind her escape.
Along the way he’ll befriend Charles Dickens, outwit Sweeny Todd and reach the giddy heights of Victorian society.
Dodger may be living in the gutter, but he’s heading for the stars . . .
Customer Reviews
Superb
This is probably my favorite of all of Terry Pratchett's books. Gentle humour and witty references along with a genuine peek at early Victorian London.
DODGER.
Yet another masterpiece from the truly amazing head of Terry Pratchett, loved it from start to finish, history, crime, just desserts, bit of violence and a love story to boot.
Well done Terry keep 'em coming please....
Fantabulous
Again a fantastic read, again a sharply observed book about Victorian society and our own 10 out of 10
