About this audiobook
An illustrated adaptation of Charles Dickens's Victorian classic – at an easy-to-read level for readers of all ages!
In Coketown, there’s no place forimagination. There are facts and figures and absolutely nothing else – or so Thomas Gradgrind thinks.
When the circus appears in town, it brings Sissy Jupe with it. A young girl who has been abandoned by her father and is taken in by Thomas Gradgrind. Full of fun and energy, will Sissy save the Gradgrind children from a life of fact-and-figure-filled misery before its too late?

Author
Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens was born in 1812 and grew up in poverty. This experience influenced ‘Oliver Twist’, the second of his fourteen major novels, which first appeared in 1837. When he died in 1870, he was buried in Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey as an indication of his huge popularity as a novelist, which endures to this day.
