Dodger (Paperback)


A brand new edition of a Terry Pratchett classic – set in Victorian London, and starring cunning but kind Dodger, as he sets off on a whirlwind adventure through the city streets

THE SEWER IS DODGER’S WORLD . . .

He hunts treasure there – coins and jewels lost in the dark and dirty drains. It’s a good life, if you don’t mind getting your hands (and arms and feet and face) dirty.

But one night, Dodger helps a young woman flee two ruffians. Now, a street urchin dressed as a gentleman, he must discover the secret behind her escape.

Along the way he’ll befriend Charles Dickens, outwit Sweeny Todd and reach the giddy heights of Victorian society.

Dodger may be living in the gutter, but he’s heading for the stars . . .

Reviews

Terry Pratchett's Dodger is not nearly as funny as any of the Discworld novels. This is a traditional, rags-to-riches story, also a romance with the prerequisite Happily-Ever-After, with a slow going simple plot that picks up pace half-way, but is nonetheless fairly entertaining, with wonderfully rich characters.
