Culture Vulture
Oliver Twist Charles Dickens
Plot Impoverished Oliver escapes workhouse and ends up with gang-leader Fagin and criminal child prodigy The Artful Dodger. All ends well: he finds parents; justice finds crooks.
Actually about Poverty, dispossession, hypocritical 19th-century polite society.
Best adaptation Oliver! the musical (1968), with Oliver Reed as the brutal thief Bill Sikes.
After reading, say Please sir, may I have some more?

Stridulation
The creaking sound insects make by rubbing legs or wings together. Usually signals the presence of an amorous male cricket/grasshopper. More alarmingly, also made by an alarmed Goliath bird-eating spider (pix), the world’s largest, when it feels threatened.
