Sotherans

This week we visit Sotheran’s, an antiquarian book shop in the centre of London which is believed to be one of the oldest antiquarian book shops in the world. John Spray of Sotheran’s recommends Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist for this week's book club read.

Charles Dickens: Oliver Twist
In despair Oliver, a young orphan, runs away to London. There he meets a young thief and the terrifying Bill Sikes. Charles Dickens exposes a violent society in which the young and the weak are forced into a life of crime.
