Overview
Jack Maggs is a foundling, well-trained in the art of thievery. Betrayed and deported to Australia, Jack has reversed his fortunes and despite the threat of execution, returns home. Jack finagles his way into a household where he quickly becomes embroiled in emotional entanglements and where he falls under the hypnotic scrutiny of Tobias Oates. As various cabals converge, the captivating figure at the center is Jack Maggs himself - at once frightening, mystifying, and utterly compelling in his depiction of 1800s London and the tormented lives of the poor and criminal underclass.
