Dodger
Dodger, by Sir Terry Pratchett. New York: Harper Collins, 2012. First edition.
In this quirky Dickensian ode, Pratchett explores the Artful Dodger archetype in a bleak Victorian setting, with cameos from the likes of Sweeney Todd and Robert Peel, among others. When the streetwise Dodger rescues a lady from a violent attack, he finds himself drawn into a royal conspiracy of international significance. Recognized for his heroism, Dodger is pulled into the spotlight and all but forced into society, losing his urchin-like anonymity. And yet, his industrious dodginess, learned from his years on the streets, proves uniquely useful in saving the day.
A near-fine copy in like original dust jacket.
