| Sumario: | This article reports that England-based publisher Icon Books is likely to launch the biography of a workhouse orphan billed as "The Real Oliver Twist," coinciding with a new Roman Polanski film of the novel by author Charles Dickens. The book "The Real Oliver Twist," by John Waller charts the life of Robert Blincoe, a boy abandoned to Saint Paneras Parish workhouse at the age of four, whose memoirs, published five years ahead of Oliver Twist, are believed to have inspired Dickens' novel. The release of the book is planned to coincide with the film launch on October 6, 2005.
