From the roly-poly guinea pigs who brought you A Guinea Pig Nativity and A Guinea Pig Pride & Prejudicecomes this adorable adaptation of Dickens' beloved novel Oliver Twist!

We’ve admired guinea pigs in bonnets edged with delicate lace and dapper top hats in A Guinea Pig Pride & Prejudice, swooning over the love between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. We’ve oohed and ahhed over guinea pigs in the sweet, hay-filled manger in A Guinea Pig Nativity. Now, in A Guinea Pig Oliver Twist, we’ll delight in the adorable little pigs with expressive eyes dressed in the tattered rags of street urchins and orphans that roamed the streets in gritty 19th-century London.

At only nine years old, Oliver Twist is transferred from an orphanage to a workhouse for adults. He is sold to an undertaker as an apprentice, and finally escapes to London, where he joins a gang of pickpocketing street urchins led by Fagin, an older criminal.

But young Oliver isn't made for a life of crime, and is upset when his compatriots steal an elderly gentleman's handkerchief. Mr. Brownlow, the owner of the handkerchief, senses Oliver's true nature and takes him in, but the band of thieves won't let Oliver live a straight and narrow life; they kidnap him and drag him back into a life on the street. Forced to assist in a burglary, Oliver is shot and again taken in by the victims of the crime. One of the women, it turns out, is his aunt, and once Mr. Brownlow formally adopts Oliver, they all begin a blissful life in the country.

This compact little book is illustrated by dozens of photographs of our favorite guinea pig actors and actresses.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"We thought Pride & Prejudice couldn't get much better--then we saw lines from Jane Austen's classic novel paired with some seriously dapper rodents." ―EW.com, on A GUINEA PIG PRIDE & PREJUDICE

"This may be the definitive version of Pride and Prejudice. If they could get War and Peace down to this length, it would be a service to mankind." ―Salman Rushdie, on A GUINEA PIG PRIDE & PREJUDICE

"An entirely new, adorably hilarious take on the classic story . . . This affectionate, quietly dramatic homage is the perfect gift for Austen-philes, Austen-newbies, guinea-pig aficionados and anyone who appreciates a tale well told." ―BookPage, on A GUINEA PIG PRIDE & PREJUDICE

About the Author

Considered by many to be the greatest novelist of the English language, Charles John Huffam Dickens was born February 7, 1812, in Portsmouth, England. Some of his most popular works include Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Nicholas Nickleby, A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations.

Lovely book! The narrative is short for all ages to enjoy. Costumes are adorable and pigs featured are from an adoptable rescue! The classic Oliver Twist and Guinea Pigs! Everyone needs this book :)

Loved the pictures of the guineas in such great costumes. They even had a chalk drawn line drawn of a guinea who faced an unfortunate end. I'm still laughing at that. I'm trying to buy the whole set because I have guineas as housemates/best friends. These books are probably best for folks like me.

Another in the series of classic tales illustrated by guinea pigs. Girl pigs play some of the boy’s parts but you’d never notice. A cast of characters and the models is always included. My sister is the pig fan and she gets one of these every year. Am already ordering for next year as Romeo and Juliet is out.

Very cute retelling of a classic, but a much more serious story than the other "A guinea pig" stories put out so far! "Nativity" and "Pride and Prejudice" are definitely for kids, but this one depending on the kid's age might need some parental guidance, as it's very close to the original story.

I love this book! A simple but faithful rendering of the Dickens classic with brief quotes from the original. These charming guinea pigs in their delightful costumes are sure to bring a smile. There's even a word in the back about the value of rescuing small animals. Who could resist?

This book is really cute. My 9 year old, guinea pig loving daughter really likes it. A more modern adaptation of the text would have made it a little more readable to her but I think the older text was good for her to be exposed to at the same time.

Fun little book! It arrived late but the seller refunded my money immediately. I feel terrible because it arrived almost immediately after they refunded it and I’m not sure how to remedy that.

Wonderful piggies! Wonderful costumes! The actual story of Oliver Twist has some dark plot twists, so the book may not be suitable for young children. We loved it!
