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 . . .
"Here, once again, is the mark of a great writer . . . we are captivated by ingenious word-building on every page . . . As Dodger´s triumphant path ultimately brings him honour from the very highest rank of society, we cannot help but cheer not only for his success, but also for the success of this ebullient, funny and delightful novel." Guardian
