The Antemeridians Book Discussion Group is going old school this time around by reading the Charles Dickens classic Oliver Twist.The story centers on orphan Oliver Twist, born in a workhouse and sold into apprenticeship with an undertaker. After escaping, Oliver travels to London, where he meets the "Artful Dodger," a member of a gang of juvenile pickpockets led by the elderly criminal Fagin.
Books are available at the library. Join the group on Tuesday December 17th at 10:30 a.m. to discuss!
